His first job at Manhattan Displays on Greek Street in London’s Soho occupied him from 1959 to 1961, during which time he became an avid scrabble player under the tuition of author, performer, wit and philosopher, Quentin Crisp. He continued on to work at Color Applications, a photo studio in the Belgravia area of London learning photography basics from 1961 to 1962. It was then, upon meeting his soon-to-become mentor, photojournalist Maurice Newcombe, that he would be inspired to pursue a photographic career of his own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring the early 1960s, Barrie began diversifying into the worlds of fashion, music, and advertising.
