Baker Artist Portfolios

I began photographing while in high school as a way to understand the changes of my neighborhood, Hampden, in Baltimore. I used photography as a way to intimately explore personal relationships, guard myself in situations in which I felt uncomfortable, and as a way to process how the world and things we love change over time. Since 2005, I have used the same rangefinder film camera. 

Originally from Baltimore, I attended NYU's Tisch School of the Arts where I really developed my craft. About 15 years ago, I was included in the Duke University for Documentary Studies and Powerhouse Books publication 25 Under 25 Up and Coming American Photographers Vol.2. For the past 4 years I have been editing and scanning thousands of rolls of film that span over 20 years.

All work is 35mm Color Negative Film.
