Hey! I’m Steph Baker, a fine art and portrait photographer who creates cinematically emotional photographs. My personal work showcases a psychological discourse with the self and nature, often touching on feelings of detachment, unease, nostalgia and wonder.

When working commercially, I love photographing people and what brings them joy and connection, be it family, friends, nature, pets, and more.

Do you have a creative portrait idea you want to bring to life? Do you want to feel like you’re the subject in a Baroque painting with chiaroscuro? Looking for conceptual artist photographs with a moody theme? Perhaps a wild editorial-style shoot? Do you want to see yourself in your favorite book’s world? Or do you need timeless, black and white portraits?

These are my kinds of projects! Please reach out.

I currently reside in central Illinois, but I love traveling for assignments.
