8 Hours I TaylorSwift
Posted on November 19, 2012 - Filed Under Sony
Exciting times, this week my new photography book “8 Hours Taylor Swift” was released nationwide and is available at Sony stores everywhere.
Given the task of photographing Taylor for one full day which believe me when it comes to major stars is not common…normally you get a few hours tops, I decided to push the envelope and reveal as many sides to the extraordinary talent that is Taylor Swift.
The Concept: We all feel different on different days, so I asked Taylor to show us three different sides of her personality and play them out in eight hours. My task was to shoot it all with three different cameras, the new Sony A99, Taylor’s favorite the NEX-5R and my new pocket camera the RX-100. Now as these cameras shoot 1080 HD video as well as RAW capture on 16, 20 and 24 Megapixel backs I also shot a series of video vignettes during the day simultaneously…
The result a 60 page book shot in a day and three videos….Here’s a sprinkling from 8 Hours….

Inspirational to see the behind the scenes! Love the final images!
I love Taylor Swift and it’s so awesome that you got the chance to shoot her. You’re just the best Mr. Nigel Barker. YOU ARE.
Oh Nigel, you’re such an amazing photographer! I wish I had even half of the skills you have. My name is Paulina and I’m from Sweden. My ambition is to be an photographer, I’ve just not figured out how yet. When I see your photos I sometimes not even understand how you are doing it, but I would love to learn.
I just want to say that I admire you and your work, and I hope I will come at least near to become as good as you!
Lots of love
Paulina
These photos look great. I’m in Australia and desperately trying to buy a copy somehow online or any other way possible. Can you please tell me how I could do that? Or if I was trying to buy it from a Sony store in the States (my husband might be visiting soon) is it still available in those stores?
Thanks very much
