Barry Benton

Barry began his photography career in high school and soon realized that he enjoyed sharing the craft with others. Now, almost 35 years later, he coaches other professional photographers on a regular basis in his role as Director of Business Development for GittingsLegal

He takes this knowledge and passion to his photography workshops, where his ability to translate the technical world of photography helps attendees create better photos. Barry will help you go from “what does this button do?” to creating photos you’ll be proud to show your friends and family.
