Ben is an award winning, published professional photographer born and bred in the Lake District, UK.  A life of walking the mountains, hills and lakes with camera in hand and dogs in tow has given Ben a deep love and knowledge of the beauty of the Lake District & Cumbria both day & night. Based in Cockermouth at The Bridge Gallery, Ben runs tuition sessions in the Lake District as well as workshops and road trips in places further afield like the Highlands of Scotland, Iceland & Tenerife.

Ben won the Astronomy Photographer of the Year with his photograph ‘Ben, Floyd & the Core’.  Being one of 8 winners from nearly 6,000 entries allowed Ben to turn his passion into a career which was his lifelong dream.  Ben’s photography has been published globally and toured in exhibitions all-round the UK.
