A conversation with Ben Eriksson (EP221)

Ben is an Australian photographer, educator and adventurer who has spent more than 10 years using photography to tell the stories of his own adventures and those of his clients.

With a passion for teaching, Ben runs a range of photography workshops and tours across Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, as well as tours to Bermagui and Eden in New South Wales to photograph the annual Humpback Whale migration.

His personal photography is heavily influenced by a fascination with the things many people might miss. His subjects range from migrating whales breaching and tail slapping to lesser-known bird species, the Aurora Australis, bioluminescence, ghost fungi, the Galactic Core of the Milky Way, eclipses, meteor showers and dramatic storms.

His photographic style is a direct reflection of his personality: creative, curious, adventurous, passionate, enthusiastic and fun.

Ben shoots with Canon equipment and an assortment of lenses, while maintaining a strong working knowledge of most major camera systems. He also operates a Fine Art Print Studio, where he runs workshops exploring the art of editing and preparing photographs for print using his Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-2100 24-inch and PRO-4100 44-inch large-format printers.

Ben is a proud Australian ambassador for Samyang Optics Australia, Tenba Bags Australia, Benro Tripods Australia, Nanlite Australia and Athabasca Filters Australia.

When he isn’t behind the camera, Ben can usually be found pursuing another adventure. During summer, that might mean spending time with his family on the Murray River or sailing his International 420 dinghy on the Mornington Peninsula. In winter, he swaps the water for the trails, mountain biking around Arthurs Seat.

He’s also a keen cook and is particularly proud of his Lebanese meatballs — famous in his daughter’s eyes, at least.
