More about Benjamin M....
What do you love about your job?
I love catching those candid moments. Sometimes you can take all the time in the world to stage the perfect photo and then at other times the perfect photo just presents itself to you with the perfect natural lighting and perfect composition. Sometimes recognising and capitalising on that takes just as much skill and training, but it's those moments when the perfect photo opportunity presents itself and you take those opportunities - I think they always make better photos, and tell a more real story.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
I recently done a maternity shoot for a client who really didn't know what she wanted for her photos. After asking some questions and finding out that she grew up playing on her favorite beach at the old life savers tower, we decided that is where some of the shoot should take place. She was so happy with the way the photos had turned out as not only did the photos capture her pregnancy, but also had an emotional attachment from her own childhood.
