Music Shoots

I have been photographing and documenting musicians for over 30 years. My images have traveled the world online and in magazines, newspapers, clothing lines, book covers etc.Checkout some previous work below.

This is a recent quote from the Electronic Sound magazine interview with Nina Walsh: Neil Mason - "One of my favourite-ever press shots is of you and Andrew Weatherall as Woodleigh Research Facility. You know the one, in a back of a camper, both pissing yourselves laughing. Good times eh? Nina - One of my favourites too. I can’t remember exactly what Andrew had just said but it was naughty and probably best not repeated. Photographer John Barrett has a way of capturing those moments! Care free and often hilarious..
