Victoria Baldwin

Photographer

Founder, Women’s Work

An Auckland based photographer with a passion for food and the human connection that it inspires. Victoria’s work showcases a vivid realism through her bold and optimistic images.

Originally from Sydney, Victoria grew up with an obsession for food. Coming from a family in food production it was part of her story from a young age. Upon finding a love for photography,  those two worlds naturally combined. Since then she has delved into every part of the process and now finds herself equally at home in a field as she is in the studio.

A background in theatre has resulted in a great love of mise en scène, Victoria works closely alongside Art Directors and understands ‘what’s not in the scene is just as important as what is’. This considered approach in combination with her structured process of image making, results in work that is not only bold and eye-catching, but also highly relevant to the projects display medium.

Victoria is a leader in the photographic community and has served as the Vice President of the Advertising and Illustrative Photographers Association. Victoria also founded the Women’s Work Collective, a collective of female photographers working to create equality in the industry. She has appeared on and hosted panels, Webinars and Workshops. Victoria shares her skills to create a better world, with equality and compassion at it’s core.
