Episode 12: Jason Ingram, a career out of photographing beautiful gardens
Episode Description
Jason Ingram
Welcome to The Photography Pod, the podcast determined to bring you the World’s most inspirational photographers.
This week we are joined by gardens photographer Jason Ingram.
Jason talks about how he has taken his passion for photographing gardens and turned it into a successful career, working with the most beautiful gardens in the UK from studying photography at Salisbury College of Art.
His clients include the Royal Horticultural Society, the BBC, The Observer and many of our most well-known country estates.
His work is fresh and colourful with expert use of depth of field, a real masterclass in capturing scenes and flowers.
Jason is full of advice for photographers about how to get into this field, and some of the problems we face in the UK as we battle the weather and light.
Jason talks in more depth about this in his book. “How to Photograph Gardens”. This is available on Amazon as a pre-order, due for release on 11th March.
Nick and Steve touch on The Photography Show which is just around the corner, and introduce our listener-featured photo competition. Please join the Facebook Group to participate in all listener-features.
