Richard Baker is an English reportage and documentary photographer living in London and working on editorial projects and commissions. He is perhaps best-known for his collaboration with Alain de Botton on The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work and for Red Arrows, his own book about Britain’s Royal Air Force aerobatic team (Dalton Watson, 2005).

While not assigned by image-led magazines and corporations, he tries to instinctively pursue projects that are geographical or merely themes on the incongruous and the everyday, while always having more than a passing thought for the aesthetics of aviation, industry and urban landscape.
