Benn
Wilmore is an extraordinarily dynamic photographer that has a command of light
I would regard as being nearly second to none.
I became aware of Ben’s work through the CreativeLive website. He has instructed there in the past. His work creates a surreal appearance that
enhances the spirit of the subject by highlighting its most essential
characteristics. Ben uses lightpainting
in many of his images to define the fundamental shapes and to provide
illumination where he wants to show the viewer to see the details. His images are characterized by high dynamic
range, strong contrasting details, vivid colors, and they convey a strong
emotional content. His creativity at
Cadilliac Ranch genuine ely dosed display the cars in new light. His landscape photography artfully presents
his views of natures mastery in picturesque areas not as familiar to most as
those of the grand canyon and slot canyon.
His imagery of the badlands is exquisite.
Beyond being an extraordinary photographer, he also enjoys
sharing his techniques and craft. He is
the author of several photography books including the Adobe Systems Photoshop
Studio Techniques series, Up to Speed, and How to Wow: Photoshop for
photography. He has also provided
instruction to thousands of students thru workshops and classes.
In 2004 Ben was recognized by earning the Photoshop Hall of
Fame award.
Getting in touch with ben can be challenging. He doesn’t have a permanent place of
residence, but lives full-time in a 40’ Prevost motorcoach. Between his lecture circuit he spends his
time photographing his travels.
