Borneo

I had to really fight to get my favourite image from this trip. We were spending three days in a WWF research camp. One of the leaders of the World Wildlife Fund and I left the camp where we were staying at 3:00am to hike to a nearby lookout tower.

The lookout tower was only 20 metres high, but from it, we saw a 150-metre cell tower.

Some might see danger; I see an opportunity too good to miss. So we jumped the fence and climbed 100 metres up the tower to wait for sunrise. The sun rose above the horizon, cutting the mist for one of my favourite shots.

Read writer Brian Payton’s recount in his excellent article for the Walrus.

Barry's attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile to ensure the best possible outcome is what makes working with him such a pleasure.

Barry Calhoun is the BEST professional photographer I have worked with. Not only did he ensure that I was relaxed for the shoot, he also brought in a professional stylist who works with the like of Holt Renfrew to ensure that models looks their best. Thanks you Barry. I have never received more compliments than from the shots you took of me for my website, marketing collateral and personal brand.

I call on Barry and his team because he’s extremely adaptable, cost effective and easy to work with (not all creatives are so easy going and they thus hijack the project intent or don’t allow push back without jacking their rates. Not cool). Normally photographers focus on an area of expertise (like portraiture, editorial, products, stock art, travel), but Barry is a multi-hyphenate...
