About Oliver Raymond Barker

Oliver Raymond Barker works with the mechanics and alchemy of photography to make images, objects and structures that expand upon what photography is and can be. Working predominantly with alternative analogue techniques he uses photography as a tool to uncover imagined narratives & unseen processes, framed by his interest in culture, ecology and spirituality.

His practice is sparked by immersion in nature - swimming, climbing and walking within peripheral landscapes. This exploration has confirmed in him the vital need to protect these surviving fragile ecosystems, also to illuminate the hidden stories of exploitation and control that are perpetuated by corporations, institutions and powerful individuals.
