About Ben

Ben is an Australian photographer and cinematographer. He first picked up a camera at age 13 and instantly found a deep passion for the craft. He began work experience at age 15 for a film production company in Sydney, Australia. 

Starting as a production assistant, he worked his way up through roles in lighting and camera departments. Having been part of many projects in pre-production and location scouting for ads, Ben understands the process from start to finish. and knows how to work autonomously and with teams to ensure each project’s success.

Where budgets allow, collaborating with other crew will always achieve the best results, however, as far as ‘multi-toolers’ go, Ben is skilled across the board in shooting, editing, and lighting.

Ben’s work has been featured in various publications both print and online including National Geographic Adventure, Rock and Ice, Climbing Magazine, Alpinist Magazine, Vertical Life, The Climber, D-Photo, Capture Mag, and Wakeboarding Magazine among many others.

Ben was also awarded:
-New Zealand Geographic Young Photographer Of The Year 2017
-Australia’s Top Emerging Photographer 2017 – Sport Category (Capture Mag)
-Youth Champion for the NZAC Photographic Competition 2017 & 2018
among others.

Ben is proudly supported by Mountain Equipment Australia, RAB Equipment, Radix Nutrition and Lowe Alpine as an Ambassador for Australia and New Zealand.
