Trevon Baker
As a native of Montana, Trevon Baker, CPP, Master Ph. Craftsman, started out as a nature and wildlife photographer, but his career went a different direction after the birth of his son over 20 years ago. He found that his patience and ability to put people at ease in front of the camera were strong attributes for a portrait photographer. Trevon embraced digital technology many years ago and uses the new tools it offers to ever expand his creativity. Trevon ties the new technology with classic, timeless portrait methods.
Trevon has spoken across the United States and for the national convention of the Professional Photographers of Canada. He has also done speaking tours in Australia, New Zealand and recently to the PPK and KPA in South Korea. He has also instructed at PPA Affiliate Schools such as The Triangle Institute of Photography, The Golden Gate School, Intermountain PPA, and of course the Montana PPA. Students rave about his style of teaching. “He’s a ‘nuts and bolts’ kind of instructor, lots of good solid information without all the fanfare and showing off”, and “Trevon has such a down to earth approach about what he shares. He makes it easy to understand the principles of being a good studio photographer” are just a couple of comments from his class attendees.
Baker sits on the Board of Directors for The Montana Professional Photographers Association, as well as a number of community based service organizations .
