Life and work
Baer had begun to work for his multi-year military service in Israel, before he decided shortly after the Six Day War (1967 ), to go to London to be trained at the city's London School of Film Technique for the cameraman. Already in the following year, he was involved as a simple camera man at a nine minute short film ( Sunday Saturnalia ). Since 1977 he has worked as director of photography.
Since the beginning of his career, Baer photographed preferred in the United States an abundance of B- movies ( Dracula Sucks, Alligator, Revenge of the Ninja ), mainly containing action stories.
