about the photographer
Aaron Barnett is a Los Angeles and Kauai based photographer who was formerly a film and photography student at NYU Tisch. Born in Los Angeles in 1996, he began learning how to use a camera at a very early age from his father, a photographer himself, whose film cameras Aaron still uses today. Aaron's work focuses in on the idea of "complexity in simplicity" and the nature of people (both in and out of their element) in search of highlighting the connections we share. His passion is for medium format film and attempts to do most of his studio work using a Hasselblad 201F which previously belonged to his mother. Inspirations include Nick Brandt, Richard Avedon, Platon Antoniou, Tyler Shields, Paul Nicklen, and Harris Nukem. His goal is to document the world and its inhabitants through portraiture in the hopes of creating a vision that we are all much more alike than we are different.back to gallery
