In Architecture of the Outer Hebrides, Dunstan Baker is in the early stages of an exploration of the predominantly utilitarian architecture of the Outer Hebrides. For the project he has an interest in whether and how the apparent egalitarian nature of buildings engenders a sense of community cohesion.
Dunstan Baker studied Documentary Photography at University of Wales, Newport – BA (Hons), 1998–2001 – before working as a graphic designer in the publishing and advertising industries. In 2008 he launched a fine art reproduction and exhibition printing company based in Bristol, working with a large and varied stable of artists and publishers, dedicated to producing highest-quality work. Alongside this he continued his photographic practice, and designed and produced a number of books – most notably for Pimpernel Press, a London-based horticultural publisher, twice winning Sunday Times Gardening Book of the Year with books written by Isabel & Julian Bannerman. He closed the print studio in 2019 to focus on combining his two great interests: photography and architecture.
