entry description
This project examines celebrates faces of all kinds, contrasted with the profiles silhouetted we evaluate and we compare, but we do not judge.about the photographer
Ben left school for a gap year in China. One year turned into three, and there he learned photography on the crowded streets of Beijing and after being invited to take part in an exhibition documenting the gentrification of ancient Beijing streets, the Hutongs he has pursued photography since. Ben left China in December 2017 and after nearly two years in Europe and North Africa, he returned to Chicago to study photography at Columbia College of Chicago. He continues his practice of fine art street photography currently reflecting on his love for the city, but his inability to make connections in his home of Chicago.back to gallery
