“A picture is a poem without words”

Benjamin Bassett Photography

 

As with so many things in life, what started out as a hobby, turned into a passion. As a musician and a lifelong lover of the outdoors, Benny often found himself on the road in some unique and beautiful settings.

He used his phone camera to take the best shots he possibly could, but something was missing. Benny began studying processing, and the art of manipulating effects and the power of the RAW file.

Now, Benny shoots on a Canon 5D Mark IV, and loves using his EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM lens for most everything he shoots. He generally uses Lightroom for post processing, with Photoshop for some applications, and Topaz sharpening products for fine tuning.

  • Carmel Beach

    One of my favorite pictures, of one of my favorite places.

    It is so rare to see no people at Carmel Beach, especially at Sunset. I was so lucky to come to this staircase and walk upon this awesome scene.
