The blog of Ben Horton, Photographer and Explorer
August 25, 2011
I had the honor of shooting with child actress Syd Park a few days ago. She’s 13 years old and already touring as a stand up comic, acting in several Television series, and best of all has no ego surrounding her success. Syd is going far, fast, so getting to photograph her now is very exciting. See more photos from the shoot on my website.
Highly influenced by his love of travel and adventure and his constant search for something new, his imagery is vibrant with fresh and creative energy. Raised in Bermuda, Ben Horton has spent the majority of his life traveling and seeking out new adventure. Ben is the recipient of the National Geographic Society’s first Young Explorer award for research on Cocos Island involving shark poaching. This led to a 2 month Expedition to Ellesmere Island in the Canadian arctic with arctic Legend Will Steger. As his career has developed, Ben has adapted writing and the organization of his own expeditions into his career. Ben supports his conservation efforts by working as fashion and advertising photographer.
