The blog of Ben Horton, Photographer and Explorer
February 8, 2013 Leave a comment
Toward the end of 2012 I got to go on a grand adventure to Nepal with writer Jesse Seiver to do a story on maternal mortality rates. We were privileged to join a group of American doctors on their trip to Ilam. Here is the story on the National Geographic Assignment Blog.
A Nepali woman receives an ultrasound while a Nepali nurse learns to operate the machine.
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.
