Headshots By Ben

But that's only the beginning. Introducing a portrait and lifestyle approach to shooting, my main motive now is capturing people as they are. Capturing the gaps between photos and turning an "appointment" into a collaboration.

Headshot Session

As a performer, getting headshots shouldn't just be about ticking a box or satisfying a casting agent - it is an opportunity to express yourself as a creative. It's a person's uniqueness that gives them pull, and tapping into that uniqueness and conveying it through visuals is my ultimate goal.

Lifestyle Shoot (NEW)

Personally, coming from the film world, I always want to treat these 'lifestyle shoots' as small productions. Location sourcing, production design, extensive mood-boarding - nailing these elements before we even enter the space is what bring a more tailored and deliberate result to our shoot.

Show off the Team

Putting faces to the names. In addition to always being a hilarious experience. Having your team in for photographs is an awesome way to allow people to express themselves truthfully and with a great deal of enthusiasm (plus it makes my job way easier).
