Barto is an American Artist based between the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Brooklyn, New York. He has been documenting the essence of his subjects and experiences through still and moving images and the written word for more than 14 years.
His camera work and writing is a wistful wonder which encompasses his rural and surfing upbringing and his on the road explorations throughout our waves; countrysides, cities, youth, elders, life, death, love, trials, & triumphs. His focus from the start has been in analog mediums and film photography, bridging the gap between physical art works and digital expression
From traveling Europe on two wheels, to climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, surf trips and concerts to the front row of fashion shows, Barto has been wherever one can with a camera and pen in hand. His style is strongly documentarian although his vivid imagination offers distinct visions he will follow out
