Richard Baker @bakerpictures.bsky.social · 26/09/2026An illicit snapshot of the Bayeux Tapestry at the BM this afternoon. Far more spectacular in the flesh than we remembered years ago in France. Top tip, read up about it beforehand and it’ll all fall into place as they shuffle you through. 010

Fran was a woman who found her way into photographic education but never realised her potential as a long-term documentary photographer, preferring a mother role to her girls.

Richard Baker @bakerpictures.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Train spotters are a ridiculed community and after the week at Farnborough when plane geeking reaches its .. peak (see my alternative Farnborough Air Show: bakerpictures.com/portf…) I rose early and biked it to a favourite footbridge to sense the tuts from passing commuters. #RailTravel #Railways 010

Richard Baker @bakerpictures.bsky.social · 20/05/2026I’ve been on the streets of Chelsea where the flower festival is in full swing, the pavements blocked by flower followers who seem to photograph every petal outside local businesses. As my daughter rightly says, they’re ‘naff’ but I like to watch the peripheries where obsessive behaviour shows. 020

Richard Baker @bakerpictures.bsky.social · 04/03/2026USS Harry Truman, Persian Gulf, 2000. The US Navy allowed me to photograph an aircraft carrier for 3 days but after 24hrs we were flown off so although I’d already shot enough for two issues of the commissioning magazine, it didn’t feel I’d justified the months of negotiation to get me on-board. 010
Richard Baker @bakerpictures.bsky.social · 04/03/2026It'll be ten years since the community occupation of Herne Hill's Carnegie Library, a local story which became an international newspiece - and which I photographed throughout (see picture below of mine in the Observer last year). The issues of closing the libraries seemingly as relevant today. 010

Richard Baker @bakerpictures.bsky.social · 28/12/2025My favourite ten pictures of 2025. A few are just one-offs and sometimes from a sequence of many and others are the result of much work.
