About Us

Benjamin Waters

b. 2002, UK. Based in Ceredigion, Wales.

Benjamin Waters is a photographic artist whose work considers ideas of memory, intuition and belief. Exploring the line between the exterior world and our interior selves, their work considers how we engage with and ascribe meaning to the spaces we inhabit.

Intuition and synchronicity always inspires me. I am interested in the line between the intentional and the incidental especially when it comes to photography and the process of making new work.

Recent projects
