He is perhaps best-known for Red Arrows, a reportage about Britain's Royal Air Force aerobatic team (Dalton Watson, 2005) and his collaborations with Alain de Botton on 'The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work' (Hamish Hamilton, 2009) and 'A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary' (Profile Books 2009).Throughout 2011-12 he has been exhibiting his photography from those books while working on a collection of personal reportage projects. The theatrical spontaneity of Street Photography is foremost in his mind. Otherwise, his personal quests follow 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. Richard also writes stories about the wider world and photography updates through a personal blog - and @bakerpictures on Twitter.
