Barry J. Holmes—known to most as Bazza—is a British-born photographer with an extraordinary career spanning over three decades. From London to Los Angeles, San Francisco to Tulsa, Bazza has worked at the highest levels of the industry, collaborating with top-tier brands, record labels, ad agencies, film studios, and magazines.
His extensive portfolio includes work for ABC Disney, Paramount, Warner Bros., Rolling Stone, MBC PR, London Records, Decca, Universal Music, Netflix, Toyota, Lexus, Vanity Fair, The Guardian, The Times, The Sunday Times, Top Gear, Motor Trend, and many more. Whether capturing iconic celebrity portraits, cinematic lifestyle campaigns, music legends, or high-performance machines, Bazza has a signature ability to tell stories that resonate.
Photography runs in his blood. The grandson of a photographer, Bazza began his journey as a teenager in London, landing a staff position at Time Out magazine. There, he sharpened his skills through investigative photojournalism and dynamic cultural coverage, quickly earning a reputation for his sharp eye and creative grit.
Over the years, his lens has taken him behind the velvet ropes of Hollywood, onto the floor of global music tours, deep into automotive culture, and into the heart of human stories that matter. Today, he’s based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he continues to work nationally and internationally—bringing bold vision, authentic storytelling, and a deep respect for the craft to every project he takes on.
