At the heart of TJ Baker’s work is an intimate connection with his subject. The twenty-
eight year old photographer and Baltimore native got his start when he was in high
school, shooting for his yearbook club. His grandparents gifted him a vintage Nikon
35mm film camera then and he still keeps it in his photography kit to this day. As his
career has progressed, TJ has been able to hone in on his own unique style of shooting.
He brings the raw aesthetic of his early work, but it is balanced by polished finishes.
Overall, he favors a clean and minimal aesthetic.
The first step in TJ’s approach is always the same: get to know his subject (whoever or
whatever that may be). From there, his creative flow is highly adaptable based on the
size and scale of the project. He has the innate ability to seemingly
remove his subject from the production, making them feel safe, at ease, and capturing
their most authentic self. His style is dynamic, often utilizing soft lighting, warm tones,
and a minimalistic approach.
