Ben is an editorial/commercial/documentary photographer and filmmaker based in NYC. While finishing school, Ben undertook an internship with internationally acclaimed photographer/director Vincent Laforet, which helped inspire him to co-found Hayden 5 Media, a full service production company that offers an array of media services including development, production, post-production and exposure.
While he loves following the natural light as it pierces New York City’s skyscrapers, Ben is equally at home doing commercial and studio work, portraiture, and working with a variety of multimedia. Currently, Ben is accepting a broad range of assignments while he works on his next major project involving the Healthcare Industry in New York.
