Ben Goldstein

New York

Ben Goldstein has loved photography ever since discovering the darkroom while looking for a lunchtime alternative to his high school cafeteria. He was instantly hooked, and whenever possible chose photography over a somewhat bleaker high school reality.

To this day, Ben prefers photography to reality, and thinks reality could often use better lighting.

Ben shoots portraits and still life and tries to find humour in his work whenever possible. He has worked with Esquire, Marie Claire, Maxim, O Magazine and HBO to name just a few. He has an MFA from Pratt Institute and lives in Brooklyn.
