Renowned photographer Nigel Barker gives us insight into what keeps his creativity and inspiration alive and well.

For this week’s Friday Five, we reached out to Nigel Barker, celebrated fashion photographer, New York Times best-selling author, furniture designer, and AC Hotels by Marriott?s global brand ambassador. The London-born Barker set up his studio in New York City in 1996 and has since become an internationally recognized photographer and television personality having served as photographer and judge for 17 seasons on America’s Next Top Model, and as the host of Oxygen’s modeling competition show, The Face. He pulled from his two decades of experience in the fashion and beauty industries to write two books, The Beauty Equation, and his most recent, New York Times Best Seller Models of Influence. Lately, you’ll find his voice gracing the SiriusXM airwaves on Tuesdays hosting his own show, Gentleman’s Code, on Andy Cohen’s channel, Radio Andy. Outside of work, he’s lent his time to charities, like The Human Society of the United States, The Human Society International, Make A Wish Foundation, The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (board member), The Edeyo Foundation (board member), and the USO. Here, Barker gives us insight into what keeps his creativity and inspiration alive and well.
