Ben Gonzales picked up his first camera before he was 10. Surrounded by art and music all his life, he later turned his eye to motion pictures, studying Cinema and Photography at Southern Illinois University. His portraits and journalistic photographs have been featured in the Onion, Gapers Block, the Windy Citizen, and more. His images have also been used by companies such as Pepsi, Jose Cuervo, and Glaxo Smith Kline.

Ben currently works from his home studio in Chicago. He looks forward to future exhibitions and publications.
