Ben grew up in Dorset, and spent countless days of his childhood drawing. With the scenery of the Jurassic Coast, and his uncle, a professional photographer as dual inspirations, the camera was a natural progression. In 1998, on his 15th birthday, Ben was given an Olympus OM1 and his photographic adventure began.

After many hours in the darkroom developing negatives and prints, he obtained a 1st class degree in photography at university, and went freelance. Ben is based in London, and his day-to-day work includes commercial assignments across an international client base; he has shot ad campaigns for Chevron, Chrysler-Jeep, the BBC, the London Tourism Board, and a host of interior designers, architects and PR agencies, with his work taking him as far afield as China and Kazakhstan.

Ben's photographs have attracted multiple award nominations, and been widely published, including in: National Geographic, Conde Nast, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, The Times, The Guardian and The Economist.
