Benjamin Youd is a portrait photographer who specialises
in creating natural and observational stories that affect change.
His passion about environmental and social issues help to define
the work that he creates. He also works in Design and Art Direction,
and all three creative skill sets compliment each other nicely.
Projects
- Editorial Shoot for Icarus Complex MagazineIcarus Complex focuses on the causes and solutions around climate change. I was commissioned to shoot a feature about the transition from fossil fuels to cleaner energy. Working closely with the art director of the magazine, I coordinated subjects to photograph to illustrate the story, and organised locations and contractors to allow best access to the offshore wind farm.
