Ben | Point of View

I don't feel that I've found my own style yet but I shoot most of my personal work in more of an Editorial style with a hint of surrealism. I focus a lot of my time on lighting and symbolism. The best compliment I could receive is someone telling my my work reminds them of a Baroque style painting. Elaborate images that are beautiful and have depth intrigue me the most. I got into photography because physically its simple but images just hold so much power. I hope I can have a successful career working in an advertising studio and someday owning my own studio. Just want to say thanks to all the dudes I shoot riding who put up with my repetitive, "sorry, can you do it one more time...".

Drive by this all the time on my way back to Reading and I find the juxtaposition disturbing and funny.


This is the over crankarm slide from Garrett Reeves' most recent web video.


Personally one of my favorites. Shot this in the old Kenso warehouse of my brother Matt blasting.


Kenny with one of the craziest Ice grinders I've ever seen. Bar height ledge, yellow rail is 3inches in on the ledge.


Another angle of Kenny doing the wallride gap.


A year ago took a trip to Georgia and the house we stayed at had these beautiful white cats living between the oven and
cabinets.


Sad businessman.


From a photo series in which I used a children's mask as a shroud for evil.


Current series I'm working on dealing with the relationship between mankind and nature.
