Shirley Baker

Shirley Baker (9 July 1932 – 21 September 2014) was a British photographer, best known for her street photography and street portraits in working class areas of Greater Manchester. She worked as a freelance writer and photographer on various magazines, books and newspapers, and as a lecturer on photography.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 accessdate = 30 April 2015 )〕 Most of her photography was made for her personal interest but she undertook occasional commissions.〔
During her lifetime Baker's photographs were published in two books and exhibited at The Photographers' Gallery, The Lowry and Salford Museum and Art Gallery.
==Life and work==
Born in Kersal, north Salford, Lancashire, Baker was one of identical twins. They moved to Manchester when she was two,〔 and her sister later boarded at Penrhos Girls' School in Colwyn Bay, North Wales, from where they were evacuated during the second world war to Chatsworth House, in Derbyshire. Baker went on to study photography at Manchester College of Technology, and took other courses at Regent Street Polytechnic in London and the London College of Printing.〔 Later in life she gained an MA in critical history and the theory of photography at the University of Derby in 1995.〔
Baker started working as an industrial photographer for fabric manufacturers Courtaulds before working freelance, as a photographer for other businesses〔 and as a writer and photographer on various magazines, books and newspapers,〔 including ''The Guardian''.〔
In 1960 she began work as a lecturer at Salford College of Art. Whilst there, for the next fifteen years, she made candid, unposed, spontaneous photographs of people living in the area in Salford and Manchester during a time of massive slum clearance.〔〔 She has said she was influenced by the work of Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank and Garry Winogrand.〔〔 She also worked as a lecturer at Manchester Polytechnic.〔
Baker had two books of her photographs published during her lifetime. ''Street Photographs: Manchester and Salford'' (1989) contains her photographs of people in Salford and Manchester in the 1960s and early 1970s. In the late 1990s she was commissioned by The Lowry to revisit the same places. The Lowry held an exhibition of her work and published a book, ''Streets and Spaces: Urban Photography - Salford and Manchester - 1960s-2000'' (2000), with her older photographs juxtaposed against her new photographs, showing people in different periods, in a radically altered urban landscape, yet involved in similar activities.〔
In the 1980s, when Baker's doctor husband's work took them to London for a time, she photographed punks in and around Camden Lock and Camden Market.〔〔〔 She also photographed in Japan, New York and the French Riviera. In 1987 she undertook a project on the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital supported by Viewpoint Gallery, Salford. In July and August 1987 she completed a commission to photograph at Manchester Airport for the Documentary Photography Archive (DPA). Baker's work at the airport was featured in a Granada Television programme on the work of the DPA and broadcast as part of its "Celebration" series on 23 October 1987.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 accessdate = 24 May 2015 )
Baker's archive has been held by the Mary Evans Picture Library since 2008.〔〔
