Ben Horne is landscape photographer based in California who is known for his large format and film images from the south-west of the USA.  Ben's creative mission revolves around crafting serene, structured depictions of nature. His preference for large format film photography stems from its intrinsic constraints, which impose a strong sense of discipline and provide guidance in his artistic process.

In late 2009, Ben embarked on a journey to document his adventures through video journals. As his audience has grown, he's dedicated himself to enhancing the quality and content of these videos. Ben's ideal is to transport viewers to the heart of his experiences, sharing what he witnessed and felt at each destination.
