Additional details
Step into Ben’s world of visual storytelling where empathy meets creativity, showcasing the impact of human connections and diverse perspectives on his work and life.
As a photographer, photojournalist, and all-around curious guy, Ben spends much of his time figuring out how people get along in their day-to-day lives, how they employ creative solutions to some of the world’s most pressing issues, and what perspective he can use to share these stories. This often requires a deep, personal connection to his subjects to accurately understand and interpret their experiences. Adopting an empathetic approach, Ben has learned how these changes in perspective have helped improve his work as a creative - and in his life. We will gather at Soho House 33 Des Voeux Road West, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong Island
