Nigel Barklie, Photographer, UK

Traditional Portrait Photography - Sharing Memories.

Welcome to my website. My name is Nigel Barklie, I live locally in Abingdon but for most of my thirty years working with photography I have commuted into central London. Now I am enjoying spending more time in our fantastic Oxfordshire.

I have a love of portraits and traditional photography. I know that there is a lasting beauty in a hand produced portrait. Most of all a portrait is something that you can just enjoy. Meeting people and creating a portrait with them has to be one of the best jobs in the world. With my editorial pictures it is important to make an image that grabs the reader. Working with individuals and families it is the creation of a beautiful and lasting portrait which matters, a picture which shares the memory.
You will find extra information about my
portrait pictures under the 'blog' tag and a taste of my newspaper and magazine photography under the 'picture' and 'archive' tabs.

I started my business in 1979 travelling around the UK providing stills photography for ITV television companies. Now I am a regular member of the Daily Mail picture desk in London, helping to find the news pictures of the day. I am passionate about making my own photographs using traditional Black and White photography which I show and sell in exhibitions and galleries.
