Know-ed Fashion Photographer: Nigel Barker

Who is Nigel Barker?
A British well know-ed Fashion Photographer
He is a mix of English & Sri Lankan born in London on 1972.

Nigel grew up in a family with five siblings from a total of three marriages.
He attended Bryanston School, a boarding school,
where he took his A-levels in biology, chemistry, and physics.
He planned on continuing his studies in medicine,
but Barker's mother, a former Miss Sri Lanka,
entered him into a televised model search on The Clothes Show.

Barker wound up being a finalist on the show,
which started his modeling career.
He modeled for around 10 years in London, Milan, Paris and New York.

Because of his modeling, Barker's love for fashion grew,
and in 1996 he decided he wanted to become a photographer.
Nigel opened his own photo studio, StudioNB,
in the now-fashionable Meat Packing District in Manhattan.

Barker's photo credits include GQ, Interview, Lucky,
Nicole Miller, Ted Baker, Lands' End and Frederick's of Hollywood.

and in Episode 10 of the first cycle of New Zealand's Next Top Model.
Barker appeared as guest judge and photographer
on the first cycle of Mexico's Next Top Model.
He also made a guest appearance on the first cycle of Benelux' Next Top Model.

Barker is currently working on a book on beauty
which is scheduled to be published in the Fall of 2010.
In 2010, Barker opened a photography exhibit,
Haiti: Hunger and Hope
at the Milk Gallery in New York.
