While taking an Intro to Digital Art class in 2015, at the same time being sidelined due to injury from his NCAA soccer career at Adelphi University, Ben picked up a camera and found a new passion. He began making videos and shooting game photos for his team and Adelphi’s athletic department. After graduating, Ben took up work with multiple production companies in New York City, as well as with Major League Baseball Advanced Media. This was followed by the opportunity to work for the world-renowned New York Cosmos as their Chief Photographer and Digital Content Creator. Ben now continues his passion for photography on the West Coast, as he translates his double major in International Relations and Economics into a career in photojournalism.
