Salt Lake City: Livability in the 21st Century

ADAM BARKER PHOTOGRAPHY
Raised amongst Utah’s Wasatch Mountains, internationally
acclaimed photographer Adam Barker has a passion
for photography matched only by his zest for life. Known
for bold landscape and active lifestyle imagery, his love
affair with exceptional imagery has translated into stirring
editorial work for Outdoor Photographer, Skiing, SKI, Powder,
Flyfish Journal, American Angler, USA Today, Fitness,
Men’s Journal, The Drake, Mountain Magazine and many
more publications.
Widely recognized as one of Salt Lake City’s most prolific
photographers, Barker’s only formal training was gleaned
from a black and white photography class at Highland
High School. Years later he attended the University of Utah,
graduating in Communications with an emphasis in Public
Relations. His work has taken him from Asia to Antarctica,
but his love for Salt Lake City runs deep. According to
Barker, the best part of every journey is coming back home
to his family and beloved Wasatch Mountains.
He has drawn praise for his teaching style at workshops
both domestic and abroad, and has drawn similar accord for
his instructional DVDs. Barker has produced imagery for a
varied array of commercial clients including Nike, Volkswagen
of America, Deer Valley Resort, Deutsche Grammophon Inc.,
Manfrotto, Mountain Khakis and many more. When not
shooting, Barker can be found spending time with his wife
and three sons, or “product testing” in the mountains, on
the river, or wherever else nature happens to
call. Visit www.adambarkerphotography.com
