Testimonals Barrie Sutherland - Pioneer Surf Photographer Where it all began... "The above photograph was originated by Barrie Sutherland, of Geelong Camera Club, and was selected as the best print in the competition which required entrants to depict 'Winter'. This competitor is a young enthusiastic photographer who has had a great deal of success in producing some excellent surf photographs. This print illustrates that he is versatile in the selection of subject matter. This fine print aptly shows the atmosphere of winter in a simple, but effective manner." The Geelong Advertiser, November 1965 The Greatest Contest Ever "I have been to two World Contests and four international championships, plus innumerable meets in Australia, and, without reservation, the Bells Beach Contest on Easter weekend, 1965 presented the most impressive conditions ever. With a 15 foot groundswell lining up well out to sea, consistent power sets rolled up from Bass Strait. Surfing World correspondent, Barrie sutherland was there to capture the event." Bob Evans, Owner and Founder of Surfing World magazine, September 1965 The Lone Photographer "As competitors struggled to get out into the lineup through a 12-15 foot roaring forties swell, a lone photographer, Barrie Sutherland, shot the drama of the event. Robert Conneeley won the event and Sutherland's photos forever fixed Bells in the mind of many as Australia's Waimea Bay." Phil Jarratt, 'Boys Town', Australian Surfers Journal Visionaries Who Were Ahead Of Their Time "If a picture is worth a 1000 words, Barrie's collection of iconic images exceeds the Oxford Dictionary in its entire collection....in appreciation of the visionaries who were ahead of their time." Dick Hoole, Film Producer, March 2008 Victorian Surfing Heritage "The heritage of surfing in Victoria and especially Bells Beach owes so much to the great black and white images shot by Barrie in the 60's and 70's." Doug Warbrick, Rip Curl co-founder Key To The Heart "Stunning, evocative. A timeless tranquility. If eyes are the window to the soul, then Barrie's images hold the key to the heart." Alison Aphrys, Freelance Journalist Timeless Tranquility "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 Landmarks In Australian Surf Photography "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 Window To The Soul "Barrie Sutherland's photographs are a window into his soul. They are not merely pictures to hang on a wall but memories preserved in time. Barrie sutherland is a surfer first and a photographer second." Geelong Today magazine, November 2007 Iconic International Surfing Destination "Bells Beach might not be the iconic international surfing destination it is today if it wasn't for famous surf photographer and art gallery owner Barrie Sutherland of Torquay whose black and white photographs first put it on the map." Surf Coast Times, July 2008 |
