Artist: Tina Barney
Medium: Photography
Year: 1987
Artist's Biography – Tina Barney is an American photographer; she was born in New York City in 1945 to a very wealthy upper class family. She is best known for her large-scale portraits. She usually includes her family members and close friends as the subjects of her portraits. Her images are mostly busy with decorative backgrounds and full of color. Her work is featured in several galleries in New York, and she has produced short films as well.
Personal Reaction – I think that her work is a very exciting way to shoot portraits, although her images are so busy that the subjects become somewhat lost. I do like how in many of the images, her subjects appear natural and do not look directly at the camera with a smile; instead they are in their natural surroundings.
