My BASE Magazine Cave Diving Article

July 11, 2022 in Adventure, Photography, Travel

Fear comes from not understanding. It’s a phrase that I repeat to myself when I am presented with something that scares me.

If you’re afraid of swimming with sharks, it’s probably because you don’t understand them. If you’re afraid of hiking alone through the wilderness, it’s probably because you don’t understand that environment. In adventure sports, it often means you simply haven’t developed the skills and awareness necessary to visualise the path to a positive outcome.

A Photographers Guide to Shooting in The Amazon

in this battlefield of biodiversity is a beauty that you will never find anywhere else. Beetles that are more ornate and beautiful than the most valuable jewelry, snakes so colorful you’d think a neon sign was slithering through the branches, or so camouflaged that seeing them feels like finally getting your eyes to focus on that magic eye poster you had as a kid.

Journal Entry - Corcovado Photo Expedition 2

We came to a spot in the river where the river is forced around the skeleton of a giant fallen tree. Anything of significant size, the river included is forced through a few narrow passageways. The hope was that we could get some shark photos when they are either coming or going in this area. All together I've spent about 10 days in this river, with hardly a straight view of a shark, and it seemed like today was going to be a repeat until, standing in the water the telltale signature of a shark approached from downstream.

What separates a good photographer from a great photographer?

I’m not talking about a photographer with a famous name, or a lot of followers. I’m talking about a photographer who creates great work, and works consistently. A great photographer has to constantly grow with the industry and constantly reevaluate themselves so that they are relevant and well employed…..

Why Beer is Important for Travelers

The first thing you see when you arrive in a foreign country is usually a taxi. Whether exiting an airport or crossing a border, it's the taxi drivers that first make contact. The question here, is how much should you be paying? Pay too much, and they'll get used to ripping off uninformed visitors, pay to little and maybe you'll end up in an alley…..

The Forced Variable Technique

August 31, 2020

Getting better at anything is hard work, especially when your ego tells you you’re already an accomplished adventure photographer. To help myself continue to learn how to be a better photographer, I introduced something new to my workflow, and I call it a "Forced Variable." Don't ask me where I got the name, that's just what I ended up calling it.

Journal Entry from the Corcovado Expedition

August 31, 2020

The jungle wears you down bit by bit. It starts with bug bites that you scratch, that then turn into infections. Then it's the heat, or the mud, or just going crazy while trying to figure out where the hole is in your tent that all the bugs seem to be able to find but you can't. It's this pain I have in my left eye that I can't for the life of me figure out, and my stove which takes a surgeons attention to actually cook food with. If you can get past the discomfort enough to actually look around, the jungle is beautiful and inviting…..

I don't necessarily have good luck, or bad luck, but the luck that I do have is pretty strong. Whatever happens to me usually happens in full force. I showed up in Corcovado ready to work, ready to get some amazing photographs of bull sharks that we could use for conservation.

Seeing Eye to Eye

Out of the bushes not 15 feet away, a huge elephant appears as if from thin air. I’d never thought of elephants as sneaky before this moment. I could hear the whispers of the clients, "BEN, get back in the car!" but I wasn't about to move….
