Description

In the early hours of 6 April 2024, Stoney Creek in Coalcliff flooded. The effects of climate change literally lapped at my doorstep. The once in a hundred year flooding had happened for the 3rd year in a row and coal from the cokeworks up the road had washed down and dotted my backyard.

I loaded my camera with b&w cinema film and went to inspect the carnage. This candid photo is taken from a body of work currently under development that explores the small town with a big history, Australia's relationship with coal and what its future could look like without it. Hand printed by Sandy Prints from the original negative.

Biography

Tim Baker is a documentary photographer based in Coalcliff, NSW. His work is informed by a genuine curiosity toward the people and world around him. Baker often explores juxtaposition and duality as a means to make sense of it all. His keen eye and enthusiasm for a good story usually leads him to a surreal photo unfolding right in front of him.

In 2024 Baker released his debut zine "There's Sunscreen in the Holy Water" which was shortlisted in PHOTO 2024's Photobook Prize (pre-press category). A show of the same name was held at Clifton School of Arts.

Baker is a current resident of the City of Wollongong's Creative Studios program.
