Barret Oliver is a photographer, printer and historian of photographic technology. His book "A History of the Woodburytype" is the only scholarly analysis of this important printing process and the beginnings of the photomechanical industry. The historian and Professor Emeritus Princeton University, Peter Bunnell, noted that the book "broadens understanding of how photography became a truly modern medium of mass cultural import." For the past decade Oliver has been exploring the intersection of nineteenth century photography and contemporary thought. In addition to his own work, Barret has collaborated with many celebrated artists including Chuck Close and Mel Bochner.
