Barry Festival of Transport

July 30, 2023

You may have noticed a bit of a trend recently, but for those who haven't, car and automotive based photography has definitely featured more heavily in my personal work over the last year, and having the opportunity to spend a few hours at the extremely well attended Barry Festival of Transport on June 11th was a no brainer.

Like some of the other shows and car events I have photographed and documented in my blogs, I have visited this show on a number occasions over the years, because it always featuring lots of epic vehicles, and is also really diverse in what vehicles people bring along, which for me makes it a lot more interesting from a photography point of few, instead of perhaps having too many of one thing on display.

Barryfornia Spring Edition 2023

July 16, 2023

Having attended both previous Barryfornia shows in 2022, I couldn’t miss the opportunity to visit the first show of 2023, namely the Spring Edition. I would say Bigger and Better would definitely some up the show, with it not only offering the same mix of sun, sand and all things Volkswagen, but now with a higher number of vehicles on display and a larger footfall. The crowds again flocked to see the stunning classic VW’s being shown by their proud owners on the sun soaked Barry Promenade. Rothfink industries by organising these shows you continue to do the VW scene proud!.

A scorching Barryfornia Summer Edition

After the success of the Spring edition of Barryfornia, I was looking forward to seeing what would be on display for their Summer edition show, and let me tell you, it didn’t disappoint. With the August show again delivering a great mix of air-cooled and more modern Volkswagen finery. Here are some of the photo’s taken on the day at the second Barryfornia event hosted by Rothfink Industries.

Barryfornia Air-Cooled Event

June 17, 2022

The idea of a Cali-look inspired show featuring air-cooled and pre-90s Volkswagens absolutely got my attention, so myself and mate Tom took a drive down to Barry on Sunday 22 May to check out the first Barryfornia event organised by the awesome Rothfink industries.
