Benjamin Goss

United States  • 1977

Presentation

Born in 1977 in Houston (USA) Benjamin started his career in the Film and Television industry in New York. In 2004 he moved to Sweden were he now lives and works as a Fine art photographer. Some of his work is part of the Värmlands Museum and Alma Löv Museum collection among others.

“I began taking photographs at the age of 21. I happened upon the medium haphazardly, although I have always been a visual person. After years of experimentation photography developed into a valid form of communication for me.”

"Standardizing of our visual perception has been around since the beginning of photography and advertising. The Digital medium has accelerated this phenomenon to the extent of visual pollution. As photographers it is our responsibility to give respect to the power and gravity an image has."

??"Goss is a black magician who believes in humankind, even though we are strange." (Frans Peter Verheyen)

"I have chosen a process and a technique that demands time and patience, which leads to another consciousness, both in my work and about myself. My focus is on the human. The slow changes of a face in front of the lens are very revealing. The exposures used are quite long, demanding patience and understanding from the subject and from myself. There is something honest and magical what happens while using this process with the 8×10 view camera. I think that somehow an organic connection is established."
