"Nigel Barker is one of the most recognized personalities in the world, and we couldn’t be more excited to exclusively offer his stunning photographs to our customers,” said Geoffroy Martin, CEO of Art.com. “The collection is both deeply personal and visually impactful."

The captivating images in the Nigel Barker Collection offer an intimate look at Barker’s photo shoots from around the world and are available in a variety of sizes with prices starting at just $39.99. From daring fashion snapshots to breathtaking views of architecture, nature and much more, the collection is presented through three themes—Travel, Fashion and Photojournalism—showcasing Barker’s talent and extraordinary eye for a range of subjects. Featured categories include:

  • Moon Warriors—A surreal work of fashion photography that captures eclectic models against the moonlight, combining old-school and cutting-edge in-camera techniques.
  • New York City—Showcases the always-intoxicating heart and soul of Barker’s home for more than 15 years, highlighting the city’s beauty and juxtaposition of wealth and urban streets.
  • Ice World—A mesmerizing series taken during Barker’s work on a documentary film, these images capture a 35-mile stretch of icy landscape off the coast of Newfoundland and the site’s magnificent harp seal population.
  • Morocco—As the rich, colorful, cultural backdrop for several fashion shoots over the years, the Morocco photographs personify the serenity of this country’s oceans, the hustle and bustle of the city and its vibrant people.

The Nigel Barker Collection also includes dramatic photography from Alabama, Death Valley, Tanzania and Haiti as well as a spectacular Fireworks category.

"I’m truly excited to align with Art.com and share with the world the wondrous sites and travels I’ve experienced,” said Nigel Barker. “I hope others will be inspired by my work and find a special piece for their space within the selection of photographic prints now available through Art.com."
