Kevin Barry

Kevin hopes he can use his abilities as a multimedia storyteller to reflect on the past of The United States. What a lot of people don't want to face is that African American history is American history. African Americans are the backbone of this country. Yet, from a very early age, children in this country. Whether from their parents or from the media, they are told that those who have a different skin color are different than them. Which further perpetuates a division. Children are the most impressionable members of a society. We need to stop feeding the next generations the racism and biases held by the prior generation. Otherwise, this perpetual wheel will never be broken. As a Maryland Institute College of Art graduate with a Master of Fine Arts in Photography, Media, and Society, my journey has been marked by a dedication to multimedia storytelling and technical proficiency in digital content creation and post-production. At Picture People, my role extended beyond capturing moments; it involved engaging with diverse clientele to immortalize their stories through my lens, followed by meticulous timeline management to deliver compelling visual narratives. My core skills lie in creating digital media that resonates with viewers, balancing artistic expression with commercial appeal. The recognition of my artwork in various academic and professional platforms, including its selection for Art Forum Magazine, is a testament to my ability to weave engaging stories through multimedia channels, a skill I am eager to contribute to future storytelling endeavors.
