Benjamin studied Cinematography at The Academy of Art University in San Francisco before moving to Los Angeles in 2004. Feeling unfulfilled in the pursuit of mainstream Cinema and Fashion photography, Benjamin moved to New York city in 2011 to concentrate unremittingly in the field of Fine Art Photography. In New York, Benjamin began combining his passions for Cinema, Painting and still Photography which brought him to live, work and exhibit in France, Belgium and Russia as well as earn a one year residency with BAD (Belgian Artist District).
