Molly Baber (Brighton, 1994) is a photographer and filmmaker creating conceptual works that evoke ritual, death, and feminine power. Currently based in Stockholm, Sweden, her lens-based work focuses on storytelling, archetypes and emotive portraiture. Through her art she creates a subconscious fantasy, combining elements of symbolism, occultism, esoteric practices, divination, and mythology, as a means of escapism and investigation into the human psyche.
Baber received a First Class BA(Hons) in Fashion Photography from Falmouth University, and has since been expanding her craft by becoming a full time fashion photographer and retoucher, assisting on professional film and photographic productions, and collaborating with fellow artists. In 2019, she was awarded 'Best Emerging Talent' at the B3 BEN Awards at the Frankfurt Buchmesse for her short film, ‘Expose Her’. Baber has exhibited personal works across the UK, Europe and USA (Barcelona, Stockholm, Bristol, Falmouth, Berlin, Frankfurt, Baltimore, Nashville), and has had her work featured on FStoppers.com, Dreamingless Magazine and King Kong Magazine. Her most recent client was Profoto.
Molly can offer photographic, video, post-production and assisting services for fashion, editorial, beauty, lookbook, portraiture, lifestyle and travel.
