Barrie Sutherland - Pioneer Surf Photographer

"He's one of the special photographers. I find them beautiful in composition, simplicity in their form, very interesting in the interaction of light. He gives a timeless tranquility in his photos"

Soren Carlbegg, Mal & the Longboarders Surf Band

"Barrie's shots from these trips are landmarks in Australian Surf Photography, not only for their views of that which is visually extinct - empty lineups, dirt carparks and campfires - but also for the quiet simplicity of their composition"

Jock Serong Author, "The Great Ocean Road", Surfing World Issue 28

"Stunning, evocative. A timeless tranquility. If eyes are the window to the soul, then Barrie's images hold the key to the heart"

Alison Aprhys, Freelance Journalist & Photographer
