Charles S. Baker and William James Johnston owned a studio in Evanston, Wyoming, called Baker & Johnston Photographic Studio.

Baker was a Mason and never married. Johnston was from Ontario, Canada. He lived in Wyoming from around 1880 to 1888, when he returned to Canada.

The pair are best known for a series of ninety-three photographs, "List of Indian Pictures," taken in the 1880s of the Shoshone, Arapahoe, and Apache Native Americans.

The Anglo-American public had a morbid fascination with Indigenous peoples in the nineteenth century, and all photographic views of them were in high demand.
