Sue Barr is an award-winning visual storyteller whose imagery is both aspirational and authentic. Throughout her career, her commercial photo assignments have included a diverse range of industries with presences all over the world.

P & G, New York Times, Merck, Nikon & Sierra Club are just a few of the clients that have featured her creative & visual ability to define a brand's identity.
When not creating relatable images for brands and private commissions, Sue is creating visual pleasures with either an analogue camera, a suburban housewife or a mixed media painting with vintage family photographs. She studied fine art at Montserrat School of Visual Arts and Syracuse University and taught styling and production at Parsons school of Design. She has also mentored others at photo retreats and lectured at major camera venues throughout the country. Her awards include best series, portrait, lifestyle, and action photographer with organizations that include PDN (Photo District News) APA (American Photographic Artists), Lucie, Lifestyle Photographers, Creative Circle.

Her volunteer work has included lending her photographic services to organizations that include Books for Kids, Education through Music, Monmouth County Cancer Society & Ted X.
Her imagery is a bit like her personality. It combines both a sense of humor and style with an uncanny ability to focus within the chaos of the everyday. She strives to create something that she titles simply with the hashtag #ExtraOrdinaryMoments.
