ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER

Ben Joel Photography:

Self-taught, Ben Joel has passionately pursued landscape, wildlife, and portrait photography since he could hold a camera. He brings a deep interest in nature to his photographic work, using an eye for detail to capture unique moments. Ben shoots images throughout the world, from across North America to Morocco, Israel, Iceland and Costa Rica. He posts the images on his Instagram, @benjoel.photography.

The World Photography Organization recently awarded Ben first place in the Sony World Photography Open Call Youth Competition.

When he’s not writing about himself in the third person, Ben enjoys hiking, managing his non-profit organization (Intutorly.org) and spending time with friends.

Back of House

The Back of House is a photo blog that showcases the underexposed (no pun intended) work of a kitchen's staff. Inspired by Ben Joel's experience as a line cook, the Back of House displays a collection of candid photographs from restaurant kitchens around the DC area. These photos highlight a range of perspectives, environments, and tasks of those who prepare your order.
