Ben Aqua / Information

Ben Aqua earned a BFA in Design from the University of Texas at Austin in 2005, but decided in late 2007 to focus on photography. Ben also enjoys working in illustration, video, and performance.

Ben's recent work addresses notions of the occult, masculine identity, and fantastical projections of a post-apocalypse world.

Ben currently lives and works in Austin, Texas, and is available for freelance, commissions, collaborations, and exhibition opportunities worldwide.
