"Hi, I’m Ben. I’ve spent over a decade balancing creativity, teaching, and change. My journey started in the fast-paced, high-stakes world of military media operations, where I learned to tell powerful stories during critical moments, like the Afghanistan evacuation and working as the official photographer at No 10 Downing Street.
Photography came into my life as a natural fit—I’ve always been drawn to observing and capturing moments rather than creating them from scratch. Over the years, I’ve won awards, been nominated for a BAFTA, and reached levels I never imagined possible as a photographer. But my approach has always been grounded, showing up, capturing what’s in front of me, and letting the work speak for itself.
I’m passionate about teaching, dedicating two years instructing at the prestigious Defence School of Photography. I believe everyone can succeed with the right mix of clear guidance and support—two things I’ve relied on throughout my own career. Whether it’s training teams in operations, teaching photography techniques, or helping organisations navigate change, I bring a practical, results-driven approach that works.
I’ve always been a lifelong learner, and I believe that being curious and staying open is how we keep growing, that's why i dedicate so much of my time helping others achieve their goals.
If you’re looking for someone who combines hands-on experience, industry recognition, and a real, grounded approach to teaching or creativity, I’d love to connect. Whether it’s collaborating, learning, or teaching, I’m here for the conversation.”
