Ben was fortunate to secure an apprenticeship with one of Cape Town’s most awarded photographers Colin Sunkel. Ben worked for Colin, and his company Studio 22 (professional studio and photographic lab) for many years before moving back to the UK He has been a professional wedding photographer for over a decade and has taken wedding photographs for couples all over the world. Ben decided to settle in Cornwall in 2005, when he fell in love with the beautiful countryside and relaxed life style. Ben has a laid-back style to his wedding photography, focussing on keeping his couples as relaxed as possible. He finds that the more relaxed a couple stay the better their photographs are. The vast majority of Ben’s photographs are taken in a candid style, where the people being photographed aren’t posing and don’t always know the photos are being taken.
