Ben is a wilderness photographer and avid adventurer drawn to remote landscapes and the wildlife that inhabits them. His photography is rooted in a fascination with the natural world—particularly places shaped by isolation, extreme weather, and extraordinary light.

Ben is especially inspired by the polar regions. Their vast landscapes, demanding conditions, and remarkable wildlife provide many of his favorite subjects. Reaching these places often requires traveling far beyond established roads and trails, sometimes in difficult and rapidly changing conditions. That journey is an essential part of his work, allowing him to experience and photograph landscapes that remain largely untouched.

He regularly ventures above the Arctic Circle during winter in search of exceptional auroras over mountainous terrain. He recently traveled by canoe through Alaska’s Brooks Range and camped in Antarctica at the world’s southernmost emperor penguin colony. Whether photographing an immense frozen landscape, a fleeting display of light, or wildlife in its natural environment, Ben seeks to convey both the beauty and solitude found in these remote places.

Through his photographs, Ben provides viewers a personal window into parts of the natural world that few people have the opportunity to experience firsthand. His images have been exhibited and licensed internationally and published in media including Outdoor Photographer, Popular Photography, Smithsonian, Alaska, Montage, and Hasselblad’s Victor magazines.

Ben also enjoys sharing what he has learned in the field. Those interested in exploring some of his favorite locations and techniques may enjoy the following articles he authored::
