I am a humble Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer with decades of experience. I launched what was then called Barry Gutierrez Photography LLC in 2009. Prior to that, I worked for a decade as a staff photographer at the Rocky Mountain News in Denver, where I was part of the Pulitzer Prize-winning team that covered the 2002 Colorado wildfires. I earned my undergrad degree in Western Kentucky University’s premier photojournalism program. In 2012, my work was published on the front pages of more than 100 newspapers, magazines, and websites across the globe.

Photography is my passion, through collaborating with clients, coaching at workshops, speaking at events, teaching classes, and mentoring photographers. Yes, I love to travel, go camping, golf and coach youth baseball, but photography has defined me. My heart has always been drawn to help others. A quote that sticks with me is, “A life not lived for others is not a life,” by Mother Teresa. 

The best way I can explain my life mission is to help others using my gift as a photographer. As a husband, father, teacher, friend and collaborator, I want to bring out the best in others. Using my foundation in faith, I hope to leave this world a better place than I found it.
