Get to Know Me šŸ‘‹šŸ¼ I’m Benjamin—a Photographer and Videographer based on the Sunshine Coast, Australia. Many years ago I started in Graphic Design, where I learned how visuals shape stories. With a years spent in Marketing and Advertising, I understand what goes into building a strong brand and creating content that truly connects. For over 15 years, I’ve been behind the lens, capturing moments that feel real—whether it’s a brand’s story, a product in action, or the atmosphere of a location. I’ve been fortunate to work with brands like Citizen Watches, AeroPress, Volvo, Fairmont Hotels, and Bearface Whisky, helping bring their vision to life. But what really drives me is the people behind the brands—the passion, the craft, and the story that makes each project unique. I work with businesses across consumer products, fashion, tourism, and beyond, creating high-quality digital assets that make an impact. Whether it’s a small local brand or a global company, my goal is always the same: to create meaningful work and build genuine connections along the way. If you’re looking for creative content that tells your story in an authentic way, let’s connect. #Photography #Videography #BrandStorytelling #AuthenticContent #SunshineCoast

Our favourite hike from our NZ adventure! šŸ”ļø We hadn't seen snow in a few years so being surrounded by it felt so special. We absolutely love NZ! We'd bring those mountains back to Australia with us if we could! Until then, we're already planning the next trip... šŸ‘€ #shotonfujifilm #nzhike #newzelandtrip #newzealandhiking #fujifilmx100vi

I've been sitting with these images for a while before posting them. India is one of those places that's hard to summarise in a carousel on a little screen like this. It was overwhelming, beautiful, stimulation overload, disorienting, friendly, and genuinely moving, often within the span of an hour. India taught me so much about myself that I never could have anticipated. It's simply one of those places like nowhere else I've ever experienced. The kind of place that recalibrates something in you whether you're ready for it or not. But amongst all of that chaos, there were these beautiful pockets of stillness. Moments where the noise seemed to drift away, and you'd find yourself standing inside something ancient, something that had quietly held centuries of life before you arrived. The reality of how magical these old buildings are would just land differently in those moments, without the crowd, without the rush, without the performance of it. These are the moments I kept finding myself drawn to.

A little throwback to New Zealand’s fresh air, beautiful greens and old stone buildings. It’s been a few months since we were in NZ to photograph a wedding, and we cannot wait to go back again. It’s such a magical country! If you’re having your wedding in New Zealand let us know! šŸ™šŸ¼ We miss it! @elevated_weddings šŸ‘ˆšŸ¼ view the wedding here. #newzealand #newzealandwedding #queenstown | NZ Fujifilmx100vi

Some vertical frames from our time in Jaipur, India - over the past week. This place is like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. India is beautiful in its own chaotic, strange and busy way. These frames make it seem a lot more peaceful and quiet than it is, but it’s been truly magical to photograph and capture this place. #fujifilmx100vi #jaipur #streetphotography | fujifilm street photography India, Jaipur

Some of my favourite images from our first week here in India. šŸ‡®šŸ‡³Jaipur has been really special, like no where else I’ve ever been before. Life here unfolds so differently than Australia and it’s been so fascinating to watch, learn and experience somewhere so foreign. The food has been unbelievable, many friendly people and so many stunning colours and textures everywhere. #jaipur #india #streetphotography | Fujifilm X100VI

A drastically different place than we used to call home only a few years ago…. Full-time vanlife for 1.5yrs in North America really taught me so much about the accumulation of possessions, how to live with less, but is also taught me the importance of intentional design, especially within your home environment. We designed this home to the millimetre, considering where each of our items would live, maximising the small space as much as possible and I couldn’t be more proud of the incredible space that we have built. Being part of this process, drawing our own plans, being on the tools, painting the walls - it was an experience I will never forget. Now we’re working on our vegetable garden (v2) - featuring an automatic irrigation system. Gardening and growing our own vegetables has been an incredibly rewarding and fulfilling project providing constant learning and patience. #gardening #fujifilmx100vi #interiordesign

A Buddhist temple carved into the side of a mountain over 2000 years ago in Sri Lanka. The energy in this space was truly something special and so hard to describe. It’s impossible to imagine the amount of time and effort it would have taken to create such a space. The light shone through the stone doorways and illuminated the ancient painting and depictions, showcasing rituals, practices & demons. #fujifilmx100ā…µ #travelphotography #srilanka

I’ve been spending more time lately slowing down, getting back into capturing moments that are special- not searching for ā€œbangersā€ - simply capturing photographs of my life. Time moves so fast and unless you take the time to appreciate where you are, what you’re doing, and who you’re with, it disappears in the blink of an eye. This was one of my favourite moments in New Zealand from last year. Nikki and I had just finished a long hike in the mountains and wanted to treat our bodies. This beautiful sauna was right by Lake Hawea, after 15mins in the sauna we’d run down to the lake and jump in the freezing cold glacial water, before heading back into the sauna for another few rounds. #fujifilmx100vi #fujifilm #newzealand
