Dan Baker is a UK based photographer specialising in seaside photos, although specialising doesn’t really cover it. Dan doesn’t just specialise. He set himself the challenge of shooting a single 100m stretch of beach front in his home town. This hyper specifc focus has produced beautiful colour imagery that’s rich, playful and often features a dropped ice cream cone. I love his work we had a great conversation about three very similar lenses, but then that’s very Dan, he has found great variety and depth over several years in a place most photographers would feel they’ve explored in an afternoon. Sign up to the Prime Lenses newsletter for a mid week treat. More about this show: A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you’ll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth. Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I’m interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.
