Since the dawn of 2005, Barry J. Hough Sr. has been painting vivid narratives of Jamaica's rich cultural tapestry, not with brushes and paints but with lenses and shutters. As a seasoned Internet Press Photographer/Photojournalist and a past member of the Press Association of Jamaica, Hough has intricately woven the story of Jamaica's rhythmic soul through his extensive collection of photos and videos, making him not just an observer but a storyteller of the island's vibrant cultural saga.
Endowed with the privilege to attend and capture the essence of numerous prestigious Jamaica Concerts and Events, Hough has been the eye behind the lens, chronicling moments that define the island's festive heartbeat. His tenure as the official photographer for Jamaica Jazz and Blues - Walter Elmore, alongside his contributions to MBJ Airports and the Jamaican Tourist Board, underscore his pivotal role in portraying Jamaica's cultural grandeur to the world. His expertise earned him the honor of being the photographer for The Honourable Edmund Bartlett, CD, MP, Minister of Tourism at Jamaica Jazz and Blues, further solidifying his stature in the realm of cultural photography.
The transition of Hough's journey into the realms of both photography and videography marked a new chapter in his quest to document Jamaica's cultural events. This evolution brought forth a treasure trove of over 250 thousand photo links and 204 YouTube.com channel video links, each a frozen frame of time, echoing the island's festive melodies and colorful narratives. These visual chronicles are meticulously curated in the Negril Travel Guide.com Jamaican Photo Gallery and the Negril Chamber of Commerce Web pages, offering a window into the soul of Jamaican festivities.

From the pulsating beats of the Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival to the rhythmic essence of Reggae Sumfest, and from the spirited Rebel Salute to the GT Taylor Reggae Christmas Extravaganza, Hough's collection is a visual symphony that resonates with the island's festive spirit. His coverage extends to niche celebrations like the Soul In The Sun Music Festival, Curefest, Smile Jamaica, and the unique beats of the One Love Reggae Concert Series at Negril Escape, capturing the diverse musical genres that Jamaica offers.
Moreover, Hough's lens also brings into focus the communal essence of the Negril Area, with snapshots of the Reggae Marathon - Half Marathon & 5k, CanEx Jamaica, and the intimate gatherings of the Negril Community and Negril Chamber of Commerce meetings/events. His extensive archive of performing artist photos and videos not only preserves the artistic expressions of the time but also serves as a visual anthology of Jamaica's rich musical heritage.
