4. why choose jason crader photography?
I got bit by the photographic bug while working at a small newspaper in high school. I had to do a lot of different jobs at the paper, but sometimes I got to shoot pictures. There was nothing like shooting a roll of black and white film, taking it back to the darkroom, developing it, making a contact sheet and then sitting back and hoping the editor would pick one for use in the paper. After my experiences there, I knew then, that photography was going to be a big part of my life in the future.
During that time, I had a picture published on the front cover of a national magazine and that began my pursuit of taking pictures for many different publications. I've had dozens of photos published in many different formats since then.
I'm always taking pictures. It is something I have to do, and it has become a way of life for me.
