Baker Artist Portfolios

Noah Scialom was born in Port Chester, New York in 1989. The son of amateur photographers, Noah spent his early years growing up in Rome, wandering the foreign landscape and and taking photos with a Pentax k1000. He briefly attended the University of Maryland Baltimore County, but left before graduating to dedicate his time fully to photographic practice. He is working on a photography project wherein children and neighborhood natives in West Baltimore are supplied with cameras, aiming to create a series of photography books, merchandise and curated shows that raise awareness of the intuitive knowledge and understandings of people, irregardless of technical know-how or privilege. His objective is to fund a traveling panel van that can house a printer and a basic multimedia space to be used for creating mobile exhibits around Baltimore and become a movable creative hub for people to make work and foster self confidence in their abilities while raising consciousness around issues of immediate and local importance to these communities. His work is currently on exhibit at the American Visionary Art Museum, and has been published in The New Yorker, Stern, MSNBC, The Baltimore Sun, USA Today, The New York Times, City Paper and many others. “Through photography I have discovered a way to reach myself through other people, and at the same time show other people themselves as they are, as I see them being.”
