Ben is a passionate photojournalist with over 30 years of experience, known for capturing the pivotal moments in Australia’s history.

His excitement truly ignites when a story unfolds; he dives into the moment, capturing every nuance and emotion with a keen eye for available light that accentuates color, texture and personality. His commitment to finding the perfect angle often sees him climbing, crawling or wading through challenging environments.
He prides himself on his ability to build trust and confidence with clients, fostering long-lasting relationships that result in collaborative and impactful projects. His quick thinking in dynamic environments allows him to create imagery that not only tells a story but also leaves a lasting impression.
