Photographer Matt Barnes has shot some of the biggest celebrities and fashion brands. But his creative toolkit includes more than his camera
ALREADY AN EXPERT AT SWAPPING out camera lenses and tweaking exposure settings, Toronto pho- tographer Matt Barnes has had to master a whole new series of adjustments over the course of the past year. Thanks to social distancing, the busy photoshoots that have long been his specialty have suddenly become a whole lot less busy. “We usually have a full crowd of people
in the studio — models, PR teams, art directors,” he says. Lately? “It’s more like two or three people.”
