The Discerning Brute: fashion, food & etiquette for the ethically handsome man

DB Interviews: NIGEL BARKER

Posted April 9th 2009 at 2:41 pm by TheDiscerningBrute

Nigel Barker cares about stuff – and he’s not a sissy. I recently chatted on the phone with this amazingly talented, compassionate, and influential photographer. We talked about everything from his fashion industry work, to his time spent in Haiti exposing some of the worst poverty, to his documentation of the controversial seal hunt. He doesn’t think that you can be a fur-wearing environmentalist, and he likes to shop thrift. NigelBarker_1-2

Nigel is great. I’ve been enlightened by this interview as well. While I found the juxtaposition of “discerning” and “brute” rather interesting, I really like the reasoning behind the use of the word “brute.” Too many men out there think their masculinity hinges on how crude or boorish they can be, rather than being mature, having a strong backbone when it comes to injustices, and possessing potency for affecting change in our world.

God. . .I know so few real men.
