About Behind the Photos
Welcome — I’m Benjamin Fargen, a published photographer and documentary filmmaker passionate about telling visual stories that reveal the subtle beauty, overlooked places, and human connection in every corner of the world.
Through Behind the Photos, I share insights from years of experience traveling, photographing, and filming — from quiet local day trips to expansive documentary projects. My work has been exhibited, published, and recognized across platforms, and here I open the door to my creative process, behind-the-scenes moments, and the lessons learned along the way.
