Molly Danner [Director, Photography Trip Talent, National Geographic] came back with a rave review of your performance on our Eastern Cuba trip, along with the recommendation that I consider featuring you as NG photographer on future private jet trips—which I most definitely will do!

Christopher leads photo workshops for Atlas Obscura, Jim Cline Photo Tours, Lumaria Workshops, National Geographic Expeditions, and Santa Fe Photographic Workshops.
“Baker has done a remarkable job visually capturing the elusive sense of place that is the goal of every travel photographer and yet which very few ever achieve… For a writer of Baker’s ability to demonstrate equal talent as a photographer is an enviable accomplishment.”
Robert Holmes, five-time ‘Travel Photographer of the Year’ (from the Foreword for Chris’s Cuba Classics: A Celebration of Vintage American Automobiles)
