Name Callum Bennetts

Job Title Photographer / Director Company Maverick Photo Agency

When did you start your job? We started the company in December 2008. So what does your new role actually involve? Where do I start? On the photography side of things I’m involved in creating content for Media publications around the world covering everything from the latest breaking news to arts features on the Fringe. I also work with Maverick’s corporate clients creating images for marketing and publicity as well as for corporate literature and design. Back at the offi ce I’m heavily involved in the day to day inner workings of the company.

Best / Worst Aspects? Best, I make a living from something I love. Every day is different, I don’t know what’s going to happen next and I get to meet some amazing people. Worst, covering news while being soaked to the bone by the lovely Scottish weather. As you may have guessed this happens frequently. What did you do before you started this job? I was a freelance photographer for 6 years working for several newspaper titles and corporate clients across the UK. Before that I spent a year travelling around the world (the best suntan of my life).

What’s the best way to get a job like yours? If you want to get started in photography or business my advice is just go for it. Get in touch with people related to the industry you want to be in and ask their advice, learn as much as you can and don’t be afraid to ask if you can show them your work. With photography try to nd your own style, that’s what makes you stand out from the crowd. Search for subjects that haven’t been photographed before or try to shoot a common subject in a completely new way. Think hard about what you want to achieve before even picking up the camera. What advice would you give to a young Callum at the start of his career? Believe in yourself. From my experience it’s in a photographer’s nature to be very critical of their own work. It took me a while before I found the confi dence to really believe in myself and know that I had the ability to work at a higher level.

And nally . . . Where in Scotland is your favourite location to photograph? The Beltane Festival in Edinburgh is really cool. It’s not something you’d expect to nd in the heart of the city, the atmosphere is amazing. www.maverickphotoagency.com
