About Ben
I've been taking photographs for over 60 years, starting with a Kodak Retinette camera in the late 50s. I progressed to my first Minolta SLR in my teens, and spent about 3 months being taught how to take, process and print images in a professional darkroom. Since then, I set up my own darkroom in various houses I lived in, until finally moving to digital photography. In 2021, my photograph 'Isolated Together' was selected by The National Portrait Gallery to be one of 100 photos selected from over 31,000 submitted to form a book, and national poster exhibition to 'celebrate' lockdown - "Hold Still".
In 2021 I qualified as LRPS by the Royal Photographic Society.
All images were made using Canon, Sony and Leica cameras, in RAW format, and processed using Lightroom and Photoshop
