BIOGRAPHY
Alan Barnett grew up in Union, New Jersey and graduated with a BA in Communication from Rutgers College. The son of a math teacher and an art director, he became an art director himself and worked for large publishers designing books and marketing materials. In 1994, he left to start his own graphic design firm in New York City. Alan soon discovered that his love of photography was a perfect complement to his skills as an art director. He enrolled in classes at the International Center of Photography and studied under H. Eugene Foster, Harvey Stein, and Joel Meyerowitz. Alan is currently working on a documentary photography project with the Asbury Park Fire Department.
In addition to his commercial photography work, Alan enjoys creating and exhibiting fine art photography.
