In 2020, Benjamin Hunt picked up a camera and found that photography was something that came naturally to him. Ben, a self-taught photographer from Amsterdam, NY, also runs his own growing photography business Black Moth Photography. He has a creative mind and a passion for photography, as well as music, especially hardcore and metalcore. (In the past, he's even fronted bands as a lead vocalist.) Ben enjoys working with our team at 518scene.com and he is a true master in his element dodging pits, flying bodies and climbing on the stage for the best shot. Ben enjoys also traveling to shoot many different types and styles of photography, including portraits, street photography, architecture and most risky: traveling to abandoned places to capture urban decay.
