bio by TIFT MERRITT
There is an old saying that every portrait is a self-portrait of the photographer who took it. Ben Baker's portraits are a document of his love of people. Ben's subjects are often the world's most accomplished - from Barack Obama to Rupert Murdoch - and he sometimes trades only a minute or two with them. But no matter who Ben is taking pictures of, both he and his pictures seek an honest story, a shared laugh, the small kindness of a true human exchange.
