Land+Living: Peter Baker

Art — June 26, 2004 Posted by James

Chicago-based photographer/designer

When we saw the work of this young photographer, we felt as if we had found a kindred spirit... though one who is truly a photographer and not just someone who loves to document everything with photographs as we do. Some of his work made us think of the photographs we love by Charles and Ray Eames. We truly admire Pete's eye for capturing the extraordinary, humorous, and sublime in the ordinary environments that surround us.

In addition to his own very nicely designed online portfolio, some of his work is featured on fStopImages.

Peter Baker is disarming. The youngest contributor to the fStop collection, his work is a synthesis of studied professionalism and youthful exuberance.

There are so many wonderful photos on Pete's website that we had a hard time editing our selection of images to show here... which is why there are EIGHT photographs below. Be sure to visit peterbaker.net to fully appreciate the breadth of Pete's work.

Worthy samples

I'm happy to count Pete among my extraordinarily talented friends. His body of work is immense, particularly considering how young he is, and while these photos and those on his site are worthy representations, I look forward to the publication of his collected works at some point in the unforseen future. Thanks so much for featuring him.
