The series ‘Baths of Budapest’ is the result of a melting pot of inspirations; the vague memory of a photograph of the Szechenyi baths seen years ago but remembered because of the amazing characters. A love of architecture and Nikolai Bakharev’s beautiful and intimate portraits of bathers on the Russian beaches/lakes from the 1980’s. Baker wanted to combine those inspirations with an intention of capturing the relaxed and self assured postures of characters who have been frequenting the baths for a lifetime.
