Create impactful photographic campaigns for the BBC with Jason Baron

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.

What does 'creativity' mean to you? series 3

In our weekly conversations, we focus on speaking to people who use creativity for good. But, before that was our focus, and for all of series 1, this podcast was focused on asking questions about creativity more generally. What it is, what the outputs of creativity could be, and why some people described themselves as creatives and other don't. So, for this community-led episode, we passed the mic over to some of our listeners to hear what 'creativity' means to them. Want to contribute to the series 4 community special?
