I spotted a Tina Barney photo in a room featured in a decorating magazine recently; luckily they provided the credit. I love the atmospheric, more casual than thou, but I’m guessing posed, slice of privileged East Coast life that Barney portrays.
These are the kind of shots that make me feel like, “Well, why can’t I take one of those of my kids at a museum or a friend’s family at their house (and I know just the one)?” Obviously, not so easy, as Barney’s work goes for $20,000-$30,000. Maybe I should grab my camera and try.
Barney also shoots amazing, stylish en scene portraits for The New York Times, so be on the lookout.

Wow this is fantastic! I love how staged but real world scene the photos are. Thanks for sharing!
PS nice to see you in Boston Home!
These make me want to take another look at some of our family photos that didn’t make the cut before (kids weren’t looking at the camera, they weren’t posing, they were “being themselves”). The pictures invite much more contemplation when the subject is giving a name, too. I love “The Graham Cracker Box!”
Marni,this post is great. Tina Barney is very talented! I love each and every photo…and the idea of the possible stories behind them. Congrats on the Boston Magazine top bloggers post!
Wow, these are oddly, strangely, beautifully captivating! So glad I stopped by.
