Forging a career as a photographer, filmmaker and field guide after beginning to travel around Iceland and later moving from his home in Australia in 2015, Benjamin's core focus is to tell deeper visual stories of nature in the Arctic and sub-Arctic, both as a traveller and a local. 

The progression of exploring Iceland has slowly shifted over the years from the coastline to the most remote regions of the highlands. His photographs are driven by the pursuit to immerse deeper into nature and return to the same locations throughout the year to better understand the visual changes that each season brings. Moving deeper into the polar regions, Benjamin has carried out multiple natural history assignments and worked as a photography guide since 2017 in Svalbard, Greenland and Antarctica.

Benjamin has worked on photography and video productions for global brands such as Netflix, BBC, National Geographic, Disney, DJI, Canon, 66 North, Tesla and more.
