Ben Thomas sees things differently. His work 'City Shrinker' gained him recognition way before he became a finalist in 'Projections 2008'. Born in 1981 in Adelaide Australia, Ben developed his creative itch playing jazz trumpet. Moving from there into filming the local bands he grew up admiring. Ben later graduated from the International Design Effects and Animation School (Adelaide) before picking up a still camera and a new city, Melbourne. Ben is constantly evolving the techniques he employs to bring about a style that is not only creative but fun. His ability is to see the obscure in everything and then make it that way. His images 'will' you to look at them.....there's no set building, no miniatures and no set ups...just reality with a different take.
