Growing up in the suburbs of Los Angeles, Ben discovered his passion in photography at a young age. After two and a half years of photography courses in high school, he refused to continue through the mold of the education system and decided to self-teach the art of photography through trial and error. In 2012, Ben made a life changing decision to move to the south of France to pursue a basketball career overseas. Although he continues to play basketball, Ben has evolved tremendously in the world of photography and has created a unique name for himself by pairing philosophical quotes and stunning backdrops. say hi • contact@benricardphotography.com
