Description

Looking for inspiration? Allow me to introduce you to Jason Baxter, an accomplished photographer and videographer hailing from the picturesque city of Edinburgh. Picked up his first camera at the tender age of 14, and fast forward two decades later, he's transformed his passion into a thriving career, capturing the world as he sees it. 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 takes us through the tale behind his first photography book - a gamble that paid off, leading to his work being commissioned by Edinburgh City Council and the British Airport Authority. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows, as Jason candidly explores the conundrums of maintaining artistic integrity while grappling with the financial implications of self-publishing versus traditional publishing routes. We don't stop there. Jason divulges 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. He also talks about the need to play by the book when working with drones. Lastly, you'll hear Jason’s invaluable advice on following your heart, grabbing opportunities when they arise, and never losing sight of your passion. So, come along for the ride and get inspired by Jason's journey and insights.??? may also ?? i????????? ?? t???? links: My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/margaretsoraya/ Online Creative Haven community https://creative-haven.newzenler.com Creative Festival https://creative-light.co.uk/YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@MargaretSoraya Retreats https://www.quietlandscapes.co.uk Weddings http://sorayaphoto.com
