Barry Makariou has recently been awarded Gold for UK Photographer of the year by One Eyeland. For over 15 years he has been specialising in liquids and still life, and is also renowned for his creative watch photography.

Moving image is also playing a large part in his portfolio. He has built up a fantastic team of collaborators that can provide everything from production, editing, grading, wet hire, retouching and CGI.
