For the final episode of series 3, we spoke to Jason Baron, a creative industry veteran whose work centres on making brands and people look good.
A photography expert who dedicates so much of his time to giving back to the industry he has worked in for many years. Jason used to lead the photography team at BBC Creative, and also acts, does voice over work and loves to make music.
We talked about Jason’s career in television and commercial photography, the mentoring he does, and what a day in the life of a creative director in the BBC looks like. Jason shared his philosophy on what commercial photography should be - namely, the wider impact that great, art photography can have on those that view it. Most recently, Jason has been working with Comic Relief to tell the stories of the communities they help so people can understand where their money goes when they donate.
