Ian David Baker – Alex 1978

Alex, 1978
Silver Gelatin Print
32 × 21 cm
Signed, titled, and dated on verso

A quiet, intimate portrait of Alex seated beside a window, his body emerging from the surrounding darkness into soft natural light. The open shirt and direct nudity feel unposed and matter-of-fact, while his distant gaze gives the photograph a contemplative quality. The patterned table and small objects in the foreground reinforce the sense of an ordinary private moment, characteristic of Ian David Baker’s personal approach to portraiture.
