As most of you know, I'm in my 70s and have been a commercial photographer my entire life.

That means that I spent half of my career in the “film era”. One of the things we would do back then was shoot “lighting tests” before an upcoming job so that we could evaluate the lighting, color filtration, etc .

I was going through my archives the other day and ran across this shot of me
as the “test” stand-in for an editorial fashion shoot.

My lovely fur coat was to be in one of the shots. Ahhhh…youth!

For the past 15-20 years, most of my clients have been women…and the number one way I get new clients is through referrals. Here are just a few images looking back over that time period.

Next year, I will photograph Fifty Women Over the Age of 50! This will be an exclusive group and I'd love for you to be one of them. Go to www.kentbarker.co to learn more.

Pulled this image out of the archives. It was shot for the Dallas-based fashion magazine La Mode. was the model. The series Mad Men was really big at the time, so they pulled fifties-style garments for her to wear in the feature. This was the cover image.

In 1994, I was hired by the GSD&M agency in Austin to shoot an ad photo for Southwest Airlines. The concept promoted the airline's cargo shipping capabilities using an image of CEO Herb Kelleher with his sleeves rolled up to reveal a “Born to Ship” tattoo. (The agency had created a “stick-on” version.)

I shot this in a makeshift studio in a hangar at Love Field. Herb chain-smoked and told stories with such non-stop enthusiasm that we almost ran out of time to get the shot.

In the end, we captured exactly what the design team wanted…and I also came away with a great out-take of Herb cracking up. The image ran heavily as a print advertisement in numerous national magazines and was also displayed as a poster throughout Southwest Airlines airport terminals. It is a great memory!

When I'm not photographing women over 50, I am shooting for my commercial clients.

Lighting and composing group photos is a specialty of mine.

This photograph is from my archives.

Briggs Freeman was the client.

Wynne Smith Moore is a top realtor in the Southlake area.

We have known each other and worked together for many years.

Loved when she reached out and wanted to be a part of the Fifty Over 50 series!

Historically, we have always done “work” photos. Was really fun this go-around to photograph the other side of her.

Here are a few of my favs!
