Baker, who currently lives in London, has worked with such up and coming models as Tali Lennox, Heather Marks,Jourdan Dunn and even our favorite, Andrej Pejic.
Where are you from?
I'm from the deepest darkest most fabulous part of my mind. This is where I began.

Since you started your career how has your personal style changed?
Style is very important to me. The best thing about waking up is dressing up. My style has never changed, just grew. I'll always be in head to toe black, platforms and sunnies, making a statement. I'm a little bit of a bad boy, and I don't really have any boundaries.

How did you first get started in photography?
There was never a point where I picked up a camera and thought I would have a career as a photographer. It has always been natural for me to create and capture. I would always be that child at school who would rebel a little with school uniform, I enjoyed being different from everybody else. I remember dressing up with friends and capturing the moment, it was exciting for me to invent something so far from the truth, to capture elements of glamour, to create images and have them forever. Creating a photo is a very personal and intimate process, like sex.
