Jeff Bark: Let There Be Light

Drinking in Jeff Bark's work is like sipping on a mulled wine and chasing it with a dark cherry foam. It's brooding and sensual, classically ravishing and yet nuanced with contemporary quirk. Bark represents a new guard of photographer who manages to not only lord over both Fine Art and advertising, but also to cultivate an osmosis between. His fashion editorial for magazines like Dazed & Confused, Muse and Another Magazine could quite easily sit in any Renaissance wing. He manages to capture Nicki Minaj in a Mad Men demure. His personal work can look like a slicked up fashion editorial. That is . . . until you look too closely.
