BENYAMIN

 

I was born in Jakarta, Indonesia. I moved to Michigan when I was 2. At a young age I have always been fascinated with the filmmaking process. At 16 I decided pick up a camcorder to shoot video and fell in love with it and came to the conclusion that film and video was to be my career path. Over the years I have worked on numerous sets as both a cinematographer and photographer and found myself interested pursuing in real estate videography/photography. Here’s to many more glorious years in video and photos.
