A graduate of New York's School of Visual Arts, Baril spent over fifteen years as Robert Mapplethorpe's master printer, which is reflected in the high command of technique in his independent work. For instance, he developed a unique toning process that enriches the colour and opulence of his photographs. His subjects include urban architecture, seascapes and meticulously detailed botanical and nature studies. A similar attentiveness to the clarity of line, form, pattern and texture characterizes Baril's still lifes.

明胶银盐照片，调色，1994年从宝丽来T55-PN负片印制在双重重量半哑光纸上，紧贴安装在原始纸板上，状况极佳。下方安装板上用铅笔签名和标注日期，背面有摄影师的印章，手写签名，印刷日期，标题和图像编号“#366”。Baril毕业于纽约视觉艺术学院，他作为Robert Mapplethorpe的首席打印师超过十五年，这在他独立作品中高超的技术掌握上得以体现。例如，他开发了一种独特的调色工艺，丰富了他照片的色彩和华丽感。他的拍摄主题包括城市建筑、海景以及精心细致的植物和自然研究。Baril的静物作品也表现出对线条、形状、图案和质感的清晰度的类似关注。
