Following a move to Japan in 2019, Ben has travelled extensively across the country with his camera, seeking out unique stories and lesser-travelled destinations. Combined with his passion for travel, Ben’s near-decade of experience working in design and creative direction constantly informs his visual storytelling style and editorial approach. More recently he can be found in remote locations all across Asia.
