He is virtually the in-house photographer for The Culinary Institute of America, and has provided the visuals for over a dozen of their beautifully photographed and intricate textbooks. His corporate client list is equally impressive, including Hellman’s Mayonnaise, Eggo Waffles, American Express, Tate’s Cookies, and many others. Ben’s photography has graced many New York Times bestsellers and IACP and James Beard Award winners.
