Ep 218 - Ben Moore – Telling the Stories of the City Through Photography

Ben Moore, a self-taught photographer with a passion for urban architecture, shares how his journey from a love of drawing evolved into a career behind the lens. Driven by a fascination with the built environment, Ben’s work captures the unique character and personality of structures, celebrating the artistry, engineering, and design of cities.

In this episode, Ben reflects on his creative process and the challenges of working as a freelancer, from finding clients to maintaining momentum in a competitive field. He discusses the inspiration behind his upcoming book on London’s architecture, and how his images reveal overlooked details that tell the deeper stories of a place. Ben also highlights the importance of networking, the lessons he’s learned along the way, and the role of persistence in building a sustainable career.

This conversation explores not only the aesthetics of urban photography but also the human connections that give meaning to these spaces. Ben’s reflections provide valuable guidance for emerging photographers and a reminder of how powerful and transformative it can be to see the world through fresh perspectives.
