Shrouded Soul
An exploration of past traumas and relating them to the present self. This image from my photo book conveyed a portrayal of a character I created based on a subject I interviewed.

I’m Ben Read, a stylist and set designer with an eye for portraiture. I like to style and position my subjects in a manner that tells a narrative. Highlighting emotion in my imagery to provoke the thoughts of the viewer is my intention when I am creating. The majority of my work is using digital photography, and my most successful projects have been solo projects where I have styled, directed and photographed myself. My consistent style is reflected throughout my solo projects which is why I favour them the most.
