Andrew Benson graduated from Arizona State University in 2006 where he studied Art History and Religion. While working at the Arizona State Press Magazine, Arizona State's student publication, he fell in love with journalism and its impact. One of his cover photos caused national news after a backer of the university took offense to his black and white profile of a pierced breast, done for an article on piercing. This led to the university president threatening to shut down the publication. Standing by the decision to run the photo, the publication secured an ethics award for journalism and made a solid claim against censorship at state universities.

Since then Benson has worked primarily in Film and Commercial Production. He is young, ambitious and is learning from the best in the business.

Benson's work is constantly evolving. His mentality regarding photography is in part fueled by Gordon Parks who talked about using his camera as a weapon in pointing his lens at the atrocities of his time-the 1950's-60's. Finding that he is most critical when outside his comfort zone, Benson travels as much as possible. With that he has had the opportunity to visit and photograph a good part of the US and world.

Mr. Benson uses the Alpha and Tango.
