23 The next Mario Testino

Damon Baker, 22

The wunderkind of fashion photography, Baker’s brooding, black and white images of pop stars, models and skinny, topless males are sending fashion editors into a spin. Aged just 18, he moved from rural Worcestershire to New York, and was snapped up two years later by the super-agents at Jed Root, who spotted his talent on his Facebook page. He is now based in London. When he’s not partying with his androg model pal Andrej Pejic, Baker is shooting what he describes as ‘dark, weird, energetic and focused’ images for Vogue, Vanity Fair and i-D.
