July/August 2021 Cape Camera

*) Benjamin Williamson is based in Maine, USA and is one of Out of Chicago’s diverse team of world-class photographers.
He is also the staff photographer for the Down East Magazine. He says about himself: “I am not your traditional landscape
photographer. Instead of seeking places devoid of human presence, I like to showcase our relationship to the environment
through images that often include man-made objects. I want to understand where we fit in, to celebrate humanity as well as
the obvious wonder we associate with the natural world. My lifelong love of history and culture are one side of the coin that
drives me to capture these scenes. The other is weather. I've been a weather nut since I was very young, and my obsession has
really informed most of my imagery. As you can see in my galleries, I prefer to work when most people stay away, during the
off-season of winter along the coast and during inclement weather.”
