Ben is an EMMY award winning commercial director.
He is the founder of bi-coastal creative production company Timber + Frame.
Ben’s formal training in photojournalism gave him the foundation to tell stories within a single image. Working as a photojournalist taught Ben the fundamentals of connecting with subjects and unearthing their story within minutes of meeting them.
By chronicling the struggles of real people in some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives he has developed a deep sense of empathy for the human condition. It is that sense of heart that he brings to every project he directs.
Ben’s documentary work has been supported by the Tribeca Film Institute, National Geographic, CNN Films, and Points North Institute. He has directed and produced projects in remote and challenging locations including the Mexico/US border, Patagonia, Bosnia and the Ecuadorian Amazon.
Originally a photojournalist, his photography work has been recognized by the Society of Professional Journalists, National Press Photographers Association and the William Randolph Hearst Competition, known as the Pulitzers of college journalism. In 2012 he was recognized as one of the Top 100 Up and Coming Photographers in the World with his admittance to the Eddie Adams Barnstorm Class of 2012.
