Professional Experience
Benjamin Fink
OVERVIEW
As a commercial photographer and exhibiting artist, Ben Fink is a master of visual harmony. Both
his culinary and his landscape work blend light, texture, mood, and depth to empower and heighten
the viewer’s senses. Ben has photographed over one hundred cookbooks and has worked with
top culinary celebrities like Jacques Pepin, Bobby Flay, Ina Garten, and Rachael Ray. Although
he lives and works in NYC, Ben’s culinary clients have sent him to a number of locations worldwide
to photograph the connection between food and people. Ben is also an exhibiting artist in 14 fine-
art galleries for his landscape work, and is rapidly gaining the attention of prominent art collectors
nationwide.
