BIO

Hi I'm Ben Parker, an artist currently based in Birmingham and Bournemouth, England. I grew up in Bolivia in South America and from a young age began to take an interest in the creative world. I started off doing oil painting classes which set the foundations for my creativity, allowing me to appreciate how colour, light and perspective can make or break a painting. I went on to study fine art at school and at college in England. In that time I started to take what I had learnt from painting and use it in different ways; some more expressive such as mixed media and others more refined like photography. I have recently finished my final year at The Arts University Bournemouth, receiving a Bachelor of Arts with first class honours in Photography. The reason I would call myself an artist over a photographer is not only because of my background but also because my photos are strong in thought and meaning. 

I am using this website to record my journey as I continue to develop my photos.

If you have any queries about me or my work, or hiring me for a project, or just want to get in touch for a chat please drop me an email. 

Cheers, Ben.
