Barry Payling Photography


Barry Payling is amongst a unique band of photographers in the world who practise "pure photography"

Each Barry Payling photograph is a true rendition of the scene. The image is exactly as it was seen through the camera lens. There will have been no manipulation whatsoever, either by analogue or digital means. In any print there has been no lightening or darkening (dodging or burning).

In both the taking of the image and in the printing of it, no filters have been used on the camera or in production of a print. The cameras used are purely mechanical. They do not have either autofocus or zoom lenses and amazingly no light meter has been used - exposure being based solely on experience.
