ART SHOULD NEVER BE CENSORED
Photographer, Barry J. Nadell, a Los Angeles native, was born and raised in Hollywood -- the world of high-fashion and celebrity. Marilyn Monroe, Jane Russell, Elizabeth Taylor, Debbi Reynolds and Betty Grable were just a few of the "runway models" who "performed" for 'Hand Knit Elegance' by Diane Abramson – a world renowned clothing designer and Nadell's friend and mother. Growing up in the fashion industry under Diane's tutelage, the young apprentice received first-hand knowledge about photography, fashion, celebrity and, most important, discipline.
At an early age he picked up a camera, pretended he was and dreamt of becoming a famous photographer. Later in his youth, Nadell thought it best to 'broaden his horizons' and discover additional interests. Upon graduating from college, determined to make his "mark" in the world sans family assistance, Nadell became a very successful entrepreneur. For fun, Nadell excelled in a unique rodeo sport as he traveled the country competing with his two horses. But, his passion for photography remained steadfast and, after selling his successful national company in 2006, he retired and photography took 'center stage. Nadell inevitably returned to his roots.
He began shooting Glamour-style photos, created a company, Vantage Models, LLC., and went on to be recognized and published, internationally in such known publications as Maxim, FHM, Playboy and more. His photography took him to exotic destinations from, Beverly Hills, Miami, Malibu, photographing horses on his ranch to shooting in Santorini, Greece. And, it was in Santorini, where Nadell found his vision, and his niche -- high fashion photography. He is now living his wildest dream.
A world traveler, humanitarian, philanthropist and equestrian, Barry Nadell is divorced and resides on his ranch with his dogs, horses and barn cats in Los Angeles where he is living out his passion for photography.
Barry is also Director of Photography of B.A.D.D. Magazine as well as Editor In Chief of Weekend Cowgirl Magazine (coming Soon)
