Barbara
Singer is de facto one of America's greatest portraits
photographers. A magnificent humanistic photographer with inner visions and
pragmatic esthetics. A poetess, a writer, a thinker, a visionary and a torch
of human virtues. Perhaps, just perhaps, she is New York's best portraits
artist-photographer. And Barbara the philosopher photographer has a mission
in her photography and she explained it to us "While I have many different
kinds of images--different subjects, techniques, colors, moods--I hope that in
each image viewers feel the presence of a principle I continually explore. It
was formulated years ago by the poet and philosopher, Eli Siegel: "The world,
art, and self explain each other: each is the aesthetic oneness of opposites."
This principle makes the world more acceptable to her. Barbara Singer adds:
"...And I want to share my feeling, knowledge and experience with everyone."
Barbara is a New York based photographer. She specialized in portraiture.
Among her clients are: Adams Business Media, Pfizer Inc, Women's Business
Enterprise National Council, and Deutsche Bank of Germany. She showed her
magnificent photography work at more than 25 exhibitions since 1985, including
the John Stevenson Gallery, AIPAD, The Severoceske Museum, Central Park
Wildlife Gallery. Fourteen of her portraits were published in How Success
Happens, A Salute to the Women-Owned Business Stars of 2003, by WBENC and
SBC Communications. Editor and publisher of The Impossible Landscapes of
Nat Herz and Kurt Seligmann, 1999. Ongoing photographic and literary
publication since 1983 in Shots, Fotophile,
etc.

This superb

Photography," 1994 Finalist in "Photographer's Forum Tenth Annual Spring
Photography Contest," 1990. Quite impressive! Barbara Singer is more than a
photographer. She understands the human psychology, the esthetics in
physiology and more particularly the inner cosmos of the human being. And this
inner understanding and wisdom are evident in her work. This woman makes you
look good. This is what she had to say about that "I look for the best in you
to show with beauty and power." You got to trust, respect and love this woman
who has so many virtues, qualities, goodness and talents.
