Jared Anderson is not your average adventure photographer. His passion lays in wild and dangerous photoshoots capturing rock climbing and living on the edge. While his social media has amassed a large following, Jared keeps things local and is adamant that he wants to keep his hobby just that, a hobby.

This chat will inspire you to find adventure and creativity in your own way, and not let your skill (or lack thereof) get in the way of participating.

 In this chat we cover:  

• Jared isn't a rock climber
• Why photography?
• How the passion began
• Keeping it as a hobby
• Social audience
• The photography process
• Safety
• Jared's values  
• Transitioning to video 

If you'd like to contribute to the upkeep of rock climbing in the greater Sydney area check out the Sydney Rockclimbing Club rebolting program that Jared recommends and help keep adventuring fun and safe for everyone.
