Barry Lipman

Self Portrait with Seahorse

(Hippocampus ingens)

Born in New York City in 1955, Barry first took up photography at the age of eight, using a Voigtlander Vito B 35mm viewfinder camera and a handheld lightmeter. He did not begin diving and taking underwater photographs until getting certified, camera in hand, on the island of St. John, USVI, in 1990. Since then, his photographs have appeared in many publications including Skin Diver, Solo Caribe, Viejero VIP, Escape, Touragent, Alert Diver, the 2nd edition of Paul Human's Reef Creature Identification, Golden Dolphin, and more. He is staff underwater photographer for Solo Caribe and Viejero VIP. He enjoys diving in a variety of environments ranging from warm, clear, tropical waters to the dark green, near-freezing waters of the North Atlantic and the Pacific Northwest.

Currently a PADI Divemaster and an Underwater Photography Instructor for Pan Aqua Diving of Brookfield, CT., Barry makes a couple of hundred dives each year in search of beautiful and interesting images from around the world. He spends twelve to fourteen weeks per year traveling, about half of which are on assignment for magazines. When not traveling, he lives in Brookfield, Connecticut, with his wife Ingrid and their two dogs, Spenser and Sheba. In addition to his work as a photographer, Barry serves as Chairman and CEO of the Eastcoast Music Mall of Danbury, Connecticut, USA, where he is also their resident Master Luthier.
