Nigel Barker

As a man who has logged equal time both behind and in front of the lens, Nigel Barker knew that it takes more than a nice set of cheekbones to sustain a lasting career in fashion and photography. After making the transition from model to photographer, this London native soon added author, filmmaker and humanitarian to his ever-expanding resume. While most people couldn't place Bruce Weber or Mario Testino in a crowd, Nigel Barker is one of the few fashion photographers who is known throughout America for his titular role as judge on Tyra Bank's long-running reality show, "America's Next Top Model" (The CW, 2003-) for 17 seasons.
