Mark Raphael Baker was an acclaimed writer, a loved teacher and a respected historian. He was also a talented photographer.
Over decades and across continents his Leica camera was seldom out of his reach. With it he captured the themes universal to humanity that readers will recognise from his writing: light and darkness, sorrow and joyfulness, and the role memory plays in forming identity. In both mediums he shows the beauty and brokenness of the world.
This collection of Baker's photography has been curated posthumously and paired with experts from his writings. They offer new perspectives on and deepen one another.
