Meet the Photographer
I'm Ben Fohdo.
Hey there,
I'm not your typical photographer.
At the risk of sounding pretentious & cliche. I specialise in candid photography, My passion is to document people connecting with each other. Capturing unscripted moments and telling a unique little story with each photo,
Family gatherings and events,
I thrive on capturing the genuine joy, love, and connection that shine through when family & friends come together, whether it's a birthday celebration, a fun BBQ outing or whatever it Is that is bringing your people together in this moment. No awkward poses, no forced smiles – just authentic moments that tell your story through heartfelt candid photography.
I am Son, Brother, Friend, Husband, Father
In 2018 I married my beautiful wife Lauren and we had our first child in May of 2021. He has changed everything for us in the best way possible. I keep hearing myself say you never truly know what being a parent is like and what it does to you, until it happens to you.
Being a parent is many things but most of all it is never being able to see life through the lens of living without them, ever again.
My Heart is in photography
Being honest, I have had a big fear of photography for a long time. This fear was to do with my own idea that it was something everyone wanted to do, it just seamed to be so obvious of a career choice and I felt like if I put any effort into it nobody would have ever taken me seriously, so I didn't.
Until 2018 when my wife told me I should purchase a photography course. Since then I have fallen in love with photography all over again and I can't get enough, This is truly something I can see myself doing for the rest of my life with my heart full. Capturing people in a still moment of the genuine & true love they possess for one another is like a superpower, its energising & encouraging.
I love sci-fi
Tv shows, movies, games, all the sci-fi, My head is not in the clouds its in space. I contribute this due to the fact that when I was a baby my grandparents owned a petrol station that had a substantial VHS tape section where you could rent movies, if you remember what a VHS is then bonus points to you. instead of watching cartoons as a child I would always raid my grandparents VHS cabinet. And so I grew up watching old sci-fi & action movies that I probably shouldn't have been watching at such a young age. I don't regret it.
