    Ben. I am absolutely speechless. I have always been such a huge fan of your work, and you have always been such an inspiration, but watching you push every artistic boundary past its limits lately has been nothing short of awe-inspiring. Thank you for sharing not only this beautiful set of artwork but also for stating your firm belief that photography and portraiture doesn’t have to be about what “they” say it does (whoever “they” are haha). I get excited whenever I see a blog post from you and this one just blew me away.

    tHIS IS SOME OF THE MOST TRY-HARD ARTSY BULLSHIT i’VE EVER SEEN. kEEP SELLING PRESETS AND ONLINE CLASSES TO THE MASSES, YOU’RE BETTER OFF.

    lIKE SHOOTING BLURRY / TIGHT IMAGES OF mODELS OF ALL THINGS EQUATES TO SOME SORT OF DEEPER ARTISTIC MEANING, AMATEURS & WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS COULDN’T SEE REAL CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHY IF IT WAS RIGHT IN THEIR FACE.

    Ben, these are words that needed to be said, and images you needed to make, and both the words and the images resonate with me. I’ve struggled for years with the fact that my work, the way i do it, the way it makes me happiest, Will never be the trendy thing and may never even be marketable or profiTable. But i can’t see trying to change it either. I’m getting okay with that. Cheers to you for shooting What moves You, don’t stop.
