Through the Lens - Baxter Redfern

admin — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 12:54:27 +0000

Baxter Redfern is a Videographer/Photographer based out of Victoria, B.C. Working closely with big names such as Harookz, and Ian Hylands, as well as having some of the most talented riders as friends has played a role in helping him hone his skills. However, Baxter’s work stands out on its own, thanks to his raw talent, charisma, and humor; something I had the privilege of witnessing first hand while attending photography school at the same time as Baxter.
