Mike Baker, photographer, 3rdEye Photographic
Mike Baker is an award-winning and published fine art photographer based in the Chicago area. He began his photographic adventures while in the United States Air Force, stationed in Berlin, Germany, merely to document his travels throughout Europe. Since then, he has developed a keen eye in travel, landscapes, and cityscape photography. His approach to photography can be best described as “elevating the ordinary.” He takes what many would deem ordinary subjects and makes them extraordinary as he searches for distinguishing patterns, shapes, light, and shadow. His specialty includes creating imagery in monochrome (black-and-white).
His work has been exhibited in art galleries and shows, published in coffee-table books and magazines, and he has won awards in international competition. His work has been added to private collections and he continues to create new work. He continues to share his passion for photography via presentations and photographic workshops.
