Austin LaRue Baker
Austin LaRue Baker started his education focused on animal welfare, but he bought a digital camera for documentation. It was a connection that changed his path to photography. The self-educated family man has forged a thriving career working with design professionals and product manufacturers to create a portfolio of architectural photography. With a base in real estate photography, Baker honed his skills with the camera and lighting. Working with top design professionals, his big break was landing a shoot and cover for Phoenix Home & Garden, giving him professional cred. Baker followed that with a feature and cover for Luxe Interiors + Design magazine, setting him on the path to success.
