About
Jane Baker is a photographer based in the Midlands documenting stories about community, inequality, social justice and the environment, often working closely with NGOs, campaigning groups and community-based organisations.
Before turning to documentary photography Jane spent five years with Oxfam working for the video and photography teams, and more recently as a Media Campaigner in the Midlands.
During her time with Oxfam she travelled to Sierra Leone, Liberia and India to document Oxfam’s work, interviewing members of the local community and directing world-class photographers. She also commissioned assignments on the food crisis in Haiti, maternal mortality in Afghanistan, pharmaceuticals in India and poverty in the UK, to name a few.
Jane also worked on ‘After the Wave’, an Oxfam photography exhibition featuring press photographers from the Guardian and Independent held at the National Theatre in London, on the anniversary of the Asian Tsunami.
During assignments Jane also records audio interviews and stories.
