Cindy Frey - Girl At The Rock Show 2

This is a video I made for Belgian Photographer and tattoo artist, Cindy Frey.

It was shot at the opening night of her expo and book launch for her new book titled "Girl At The Rock Show 2". This video also features fellow photographer Aga Hairesis, who was invited to exhibit her work for the first time along side Cindy's.

Cindy is a somebody who I have always looked up to and been inspired by. Not only by her photography, but by her work ethic and her personality to. She is always doing something creative, be it shooting photos of a show, taking photos with her phone, tattooing somebody, putting on a exhibition or releasing a book. Cindy. Works. Hard.

Cindy is one of my dearest friends and has supported me so much with my photography, I'm really glad to be able to do her this small favour in return.

I went back to Belgium for a very short but very sweet visit at the beginning of this week, during my 36 hours there I managed to do a shoot with Cindy Frey, here are the shots. This was possibly one of the easiest and most enjoyable shoots I've done recently.
For those of you who don't know, Cindy is not only a fantastic model, she is a wonderful photographer with a still very vibrant and strong career doing it. Over the past couple of years she has also managed to find the time to become a fucking good tattooist and open her own tattoo shop and art gallery! She has tattooed me twice now and I guarantee there will be a third.

Cindy Frey is currently hosting my photography exhibition "Along The Way", at her art gallery in Kortrijk, Belgium. It will be open until new year, so please stop by if you can.

Along The Way - A Photographic Exhibition By Sam Barker

Along The Way will be the very first solo exhibition I have ever done. I am honored to have it hosted in Kortrijk, Belgium at the Cindy Frey Art Gallery. 

After Cindy approached me about doing it and me of course saying yes, my first thought was "shit, what should the theme be?" working in many different fields and areas of photography, choosing between them proved to be an impossible task. So I have decided to include my favorite shots I have taken along the way over the past few years. It will be a real mixed selection of photographs from time on the road, time at home, posed shoots and experimental work. You can expect to see a bits of everything, portraits, landscapes, skateboarding, digital, film and so on. 

The opening night of Along The Way is on December 1st, and the exhibition will be open for the whole month.

I hope to see as many of you there as possible, I'm real excited for this to say the least!

More on this exhibition soon. Any enquiries about it, please feel free to contact me at sambarker1234@aol.com.
