WATCH MY ARTISTIC PROCESS
about kayla
I choose to use film photography has my medium to create timeless images. With a degree and background in graphic design, I use a curated and artful approach to create light-filled, impressionistic images that evoke a sense of emotion, movement and beauty.
I am not just a photographer of pretty photographs, but a preserver of your love and relationships. My goal is to capture the most beautiful side of you and authentically tell your story for generations to come. I am blessed and thankful that God has given me this opportunity to photograph wonderful people around the world. I would be honored to get to know you and be a part of documenting your journey and life story.
Hugs,
Kayla Barker
artist's statement
"I am inspired by the great artists that have come before me. The soft posing in sculptures, the sharp lines of fashion, the dappled light in the paintings of the impressionists. It inspires me to use use an artful approach to create light-filled, impressionistic images that evoke a sense of emotion, movement and beauty."
encaustic art
"I fuse together my realistic view of the world
and parts of my imagination."
In my desire to sustain and enhance memories, I use the ancient art of encaustic to preserve my photographs. Encaustic wax medium is one of the oldest forms of painting and preserving imagery. I encapsulate my film photography with wax to bring texture, depth and feeling to my photographs and art. I fuse together my realistic view of the world and parts of my imagination. My desire is to take something that is flat and breathe life and a story back into it through texture and oil paints.
I love to create these encaustic wax pieces of art for my photography clients as a keepsake and piece of art that they can cherish and preserve.
