I thought I'd give a little bit of an update to what is happening with Benjamin Wilson Photography, as it seems that I've only made three posts this year, non of which have been that informative.

The TLDR is, I'm back and am eager to take on more photographic work.

For those who don't know, for the past eight months I have been working as a freelance journalist for the Te Awamutu News.

My primary job there has been to write and research stories, while taking relevant photos whenever applicable (I share some of those photos here www.benjaminwilsonphotography.com/through-the-news ).

Because of the craziness of entering the field of journalism for the first time, I've somewhat neglected this business.

I've still taken on gigs when requested, but I have not actively advertised or sought extra work.

Frankly, I miss taking on clients, creating art, and preserving memories.

I am now at a stage where I am comfortable to take advantage of being a freelancer fully, and am happy/eager to pursue photographic work again.

So, expect to see much more activity on this page, and if you are in need of a photographer, my contact details can be found in this page's bio.

Benjamin.

Testing a new lens, I took this photo in my parent's orchard five years ago. I have since opened up lightroom to edit the photo a little bit more each year.

I do this just to see how far a photo, one that I consider to be mediocre , can be pushed in post.

Anyways, here is the 2022 edition.

Edit: Through AI, the edit has been upscaled to 12k resolution, which is definitely not represented here on Facebook.
