Ben's background is in fine art practice specialising in painting, but over the past two decade he has moved into creative digital technologies and, most recently, photography. He is an experimentalist covering diverse areas from photographic imaging, web design, video to 2/3D drawing & modelling that are not sited within a particular specialism, but work with a wider remit of the creative industries and other academic subjects outside the humanities.
Scholarships
Ben has a degree in Fine Art and a MA in Photograph. Ben's current scholarship is based in the Studio of Light where a team of academics and researchers are investigating the use of noble metals in traditional photographic printing and other alternative hybrid analogue/digital imaging processes.
