A Triathlete and a Virginia Tech Hokie. Trihokie Images is the photography of Barry Jones. Trihokie's roots are in action photography. I love sports and I love shooting athletes pouring their hearts out on the field of battle. I have competed in virtually all of the sports that I photograph. From football to track and field to triathlon up through the Ironman distance, I have been there. That gives me an advantage when it comes to capturing the thrill, the agony and the excitement that defines sports. I believe that a person's inner self is exposed during intense physical competition and I love being there to record it. My photos have appeared in the Florida Today Newspaper, Running Times Magazine, Flrunners.com web site and the Space Coast Runners newsletter and web site.

I also have an artistic side that is expressed in my portraits and wedding photography. I was an illustrator for the Horticulture Department at Virginia Tech while earning my business degree from that college. I designed drawings and illustrations from my mind's eye to the finished product. That eye for art and design carries over into my photography. It helps in the composition of my photographs and in the lighting techniques that I use to create them.

This artistic and sports background is combined when shooting important events like weddings. When shooting a sporting event for a publication, many times you have only one chance to get THE shot. I rely on my experience and equipment to get that shot the first time, because many times I may not get a second chance. The same holds true when shooting an important day in your life, like your wedding.
