Barry Willis shoots people. His work spans the design, advertising, editorial and corporate sectors, producing powerful and engaging imagery that always strives towards an empathy with the subject.

Recent commercial projects have included shooting a series of reportage style images for the ‘Winning Moments’ national campaign for Camelot.

His on-going work for CLIC Sargent documents the stories of children that have been diagnosed with cancer, the effects on their families and the support they receive from their carers.

Barry’s interest in the moving image has been reflected in a number of personal projects and video commissions, the most recent for PGL.

"I owned a Chinon Super 8 before I owned an SLR," he says. "What goes around, comes around!"
