About Ben and Filtered Landscapes
"Filtered Landscapes is about something different, it is a movement, a
different concept of photography and art, with passion, raw emotion with an acceptance of feelings, my own and others'.
Mindfulness and a strong emotional connection to the environment and immediate surroundings are central to my approach in how I choose my locations, my composition and how I edit my images. The connection and bonding continues through the decision making of print size, material to print on and mount colour to use, it all impacts the final feeling of the image portrayed."
Ben’s passion centers around the great outdoors, and all it’s beauty. Whether shooting a sweeping downland landscape or a powerful, emotive shot in the Arctic. He looks to capture those moments that make you feel, something that is personal to you, an appreciation of our world or just to be.
Ben draws on his 25 years as a Paediatric (Children’s) Nurse working on Intensive Care at Great Ormond Street for 13 years and with families and children with very Complex Needs and disabilities. He has dealt with his own traumas and significant mental health battles. These experiences and challenges have helped shape him to be the intrinsically perceptive; deeply compassionate; mindfully connected person, and artist that he is.
