About Ben Williamson
Benjamin Williamson isn’t your traditional landscape and nature photographer. Instead of seeking places devoid of human presence, he likes to showcase our relationship to the natural environment. A lifelong love of cultural history and the weather are combined in images that often feature man-made objects and landmarks in unusual conditions and beautiful light.

Ben studied photography while working nights tending bar. At first, he simply wanted to capture the beauty he was coming across on walks and hikes near his home in Bath Maine. He quickly discovered that a photograph could be more than just a visual document of a moment in time. It could be a creative and expressive act, capturing his feelings about the scenes in front of him. This hobby evolved into a full-time profession within just a few years after he was hired to be the photo editor for Down East magazine. His goal throughout has remained the same, to share the awe and wonder he feels and the deep sense of connection to the beauty that abounds in the world around us.
