ABOUT BEN ASEN: A photographer in New York City for over 40 years, Ben specializes in event, corporate, non-profit, editorial, and portrait photography. He is deeply inspired by the city’s architecture, energy, and diversity, capturing its many layers through his lens. “My work is about truly seeing the beauty in the ordinary and the extraordinary in the everyday. I like to think of my photographs as windows, offering a glimpse into a world where light and shadow dance, and where each moment holds the potential for discovery and a cinematic moment.”
