Hi
My name is Clive Barber and I live in Toronto. I have been one of those guys lurking in the background in many of the popular photography forums for several years but never posted on a regular basis.
I've been a professional photographer in Toronto since about 1981. I started off in the studio shooting 4x5 and 8x10 and mostly for advertising. At first I loved the controlled environment the studio offered. As the years went by, studio work lost its luster and I focused on location work. Most of my work at that time was industrial and advertising.
In the early 90's an advertising agency asked me to photograph a golf course. Since then, I have specialized in golf course photography while still doing the odd advertising/industrial shoot. I love being outside, capturing images that inspire me and in turn make my clients happy.
I have always been a medium format and large format photographer. I sold my Hasselblads and Fuji GX680 system 4-5 years ago when I went digital. Presently I am shooting with the 1DsII but fully intend to move back to MF in a couple of months. I haven’t decided which way to go but am very interested in the HY6 or back to Hasselblad, such as, the HD3.
