I am a photographer and film-maker based in Chippenham, Wiltshire.

I began with theatre photography because this tied into my interest in acting and directing. I moved on to photographing models in available light, then using flash. I now make use of all this to do fashion, portraits, narrative and weddings, as well as continuing my theatre work.

With the arrival of the Canon 5D Mark II and its astonishing full HD video, I was finally able to move into making short films and music videos with the film-look that I wanted. I edit HD video using Premiere Pro CS5 and After Affects CS5.

As well as my portfolio here, you will find a much larger/more diverse collection of my images on my flickr account: www.flickr.com/photos/obenson.
