Behind the Scenes with Photographer Jason Baxter
Jason Baxter, an accomplished photographer and videographer from Edinburgh picked up his first camera at the age of 14. Fast forward two decades later, he's transformed his passion into a thriving career. But it's not all about the lens - transitioning to videography during the pandemic, Jason has utilised his skills and perspective to craft narratives, telling stories that influence how we perceive our surroundings. The journey to success is rarely a straight path, and Jason's is no different. He tells us about his first photography book - leading to his work being commissioned by Edinburgh City Council and the British Airport Authority. Jason chats about the challenges and victories of balancing commercial work with his personal passions, and shares how a breathtaking sunrise at Ben Lomond sparked his love for photography. You’ll get a taste of the perks of being a professional photographer - honing skills, creating stock work, enjoying trips, and dabbling in different mediums. Lastly, you'll hear Jason’s invaluable advice on following your heart, grabbing opportunities when they arise, and never losing sight of your passion.
