Esme Buxton is a narrative-driven luxury photographer helping brands deliver memorable campaigns that drive both artistic excellence and measurable results. She is also a Formula 1 fan and founded the Paddock Journal in response to a gap in the market to explore the fashion and brand values of Formula One.

I was following the Paddock Journal online and loved the aesthetic and how cleverly Esme has blended the two worlds and clearly her two passions.

Launching a magazine is a huge achievement and I wanted to find out more about this clear-sighted woman fulfilling her dreams to create something fresh for Formula One fans, especially female F1 followers.

Esme says of the publication: "Our values have always and will always be about inclusion, representation, authenticity and community. 🫶🏻 Setting up the magazine was mega hard work, but I'm so glad I went for it!"

It comes to us all, the desire to do something that gives our lives purpose: I was running on empty in bare feet, so I quit my corporate career to do many hundreds of hours of psychology research which had two outcomes:

1. I set up #happyinschoolproject CIC to provide advocacy and information to parents and educators about how autism and ADHD can be missed in younger children, especially those from black Caribbean heritage.

2. I finished capturing the epic tale of my son's diagnosis which was published in my first non-fiction book:

S.E.N.D. in the Clowns, Essential Autism and ADHD Family Guide.

I discovered I am the owner of a Brilliant ADHD brain in my fifties and I continue to use this brain to spark conversations, challenge ignorance, write books, articles, poetry give keynotes, training and workshops.
