My Bio
www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Benj…

Be my friend and like my page here to help me out :)

I am an amature, but I have sold a bit of my work. I am not studying and I never have so you could say I'm self taught in photography and I've alway drawn stuff :) I work full time so when I get a chance I head out and get shots, usually before or after work. My time keeping and organizational skill are shabby to say the least lol but I'll get better.

I live in Perth Western Australia, and I love it here. I got my own house and I'm renovating so that puts just a bit more pressure on me, but its all worth it.

People aske me "what sort of photography do you do " or " what sort of art do you do". The short answer is 'I do anything'. I don't want to limit myself at all so I just jump in and see if it works :)

I learn something new almost everyday these days, and I love it!

I'm pretty modest so I've been told, but I don't think that will ever change. I don't think it's up to me to decide if I'm good or not - everything is different to everyone- you either like it or you don't :)
If I have an overall goal... It would be to have my own Gallery!! I've wanted that since highschool when everyone's 'supposed to know' what they want to do in life and what they want to become. I never thought I'd even sell anything, I just want to display my stuff and have people look at it :D

Thats about it.
Talk to me on facebook if you want, link at the top.. I think

Add me as a friend if you want and share my art! I'll accept as, its all I have facebook for! ( so no I wont bother you with dumb status updates) I'll take all the help I can get I am in need of some more publicity and the best way to do that is by entering in Arts Festivals ( which I'm doing now for the first time, wish me luck) or just sharing on sites like this or facebum :) Thanking you in advance! -Ben

Very Happy!

Ok so, my first real model shoot worked out great despite how nervous I was. The makeup artist, the model and the store who supplied the jewellery were all very happy and impressed with my work so I couldn't be more glad! Since then I've also been contacted by a few other people, including another model, wanting me to do their shots!!  Cool beans! I'm still working on the design for the mural I've been asked to create, although now I think it's going to be more of a large canvas, but we'll see. That one is definately keeping my busy. And also I have sold two large prints of a couple of my Nature shots, to a lady who seems to love my work! H

Happy birthday! xD
Thank you for all your support!! - and sorry I haven't been on here at all. It became very slow and hard to upload stuff to here and fb at the same time :S

I am actually thinking of starting a new DA acount, if I do I hope you'll keep watching what I create. I still really like DA, it keeps me inspired :) I'll do an update if I make a new account soon
Yarh, of course I'll follow you again if you make a new account ^^ It's fine if you don't upload here, 'cause I see everything on facebook. Just don't forget to upload there lol :D You're progressed really well since you last posted on DA! I don't want to 'Like' everything, but I end up liking most of it anyway, heheh.
Love from your second biggest fan...G
