Most recently: Oliver has been teaching photography classes in Los Angeles, and some of his photographic works have been put in galleries and exhibitions. He is respected for his knowledge of 19th century photography techniques and has written a book called "A History of the Woodburytype: The First Sucessful Photochemical Printing Porcess of Walter Bentley Woodury." (2007)
He was also involved in the wet plate photography for the movie Cold Mountain (2003), and is one of the 10 featured emerging photographers in the 2007 Silverstein Photography Annual (SPA). He has also worked with the Huntington Library to produce a short film, "In the Usual Manner" where he demonstrates the wet plate photographic technique and provides audio commentary on the process and his experience.
Recent photos of Barret Oliver are available all over the internet with a basic image search. We don't post them here out of respect for his anonymity.
