About
T W Baker is an emerging photographer based on the Coal Coast of NSW, Australia.
His work is guided by a genuine and unending curiosity to the people and world around him and “perhaps my incomplete anthropology degree”. Baker’s humanist approach to photography elevates the stories of his subjects whilst encouraging viewers to challenge their own perspectives.
Always carrying a camera and a penchant for taking back roads usually leads to surreal and absurd scenes playing out right in front of him. Resulting in photographs that ask more questions than they answer.
Baker’s works have hung in Wollongong Art Gallery, NERAM Armidale and the Ballarat International Foto Biennale as part of the 2021’s tribute to Michael Gudniski.
He is a finalist in the 2025 Galah Regional Photography Prize. In 2024 his debut zine, “There’s Sunscreen in The Holy Water” was shortlisted for the PHOTO24’s best pre-press Photobook Prize.
