Hi. You can call me Ben.

I am a photographer.

If you’re getting married, graduating high school, or you just need a good picture to put on your Facebook page… I think I can help. Lets get together and talk about it. Come to my studio and get your Fish Eye Fun photo taken for free… or I can come to you. If you’re not in St. Louis we could Skype or iChat or use that old fashioned thing called… the phone?

Cheers,

Ben

Oh yeah…. If you’re from St. Louis too you’re probably wondering so… I went to Clayton.

About Cinematic Photojournalism

My style is often classified as “photojournalism.” When given several options to describe my style I often pick photojournalism over “traditional” or “posed.” However, I don’t think photojournalism is a style. It is a method. I will take creative liberties and give direction when necessary, but I feel the best photographs are taken when you don’t know you’re being photographed. It’s the moments between the toast and the first dance and it’s the moments before and after “say cheese” that are really magical.

My method is photojournalism but my style is cinematic. Through photographs I want to tell the story of your wedding, your event, or your family.  I love to use light, composition, processing, and even movement to tell a story that is both beautiful and truthful.

This style is translated in my album design as well. Like editing a movie, the juxtaposition of one image next to another can profoundly effect the meaning and emotion of each image.
