About Benjamin Maze


Hey there! My name's Ben, and I'm a landscape photographer based in Sydney, Australia.

I was always drawing and painting from a young age, but it wasn’t until 2013 that I first picked up a camera. It didn’t take long for me to hit the ground running, and while it took another 5 years to put down the pencil and brush, photography had well and truly become my creative muse of choice.

While progress was slow to begin with - being a high school student with very limited funds to invest in both gear and tuition - it was steady and determined. This forced me to figure things out for myself, which eventually led to developing a refined personal style that I’ve been fortunate enough to have had recognised both nationally and internationally.

I am passionate about capturing the full spectrum of the multi-faceted landscape. Rather than settling into a niche, I draw inspiration from both dramatic grand scenics and the intimate details found in nature. I’m always pushing myself creatively and wondering how I can translate nature in unique ways that draw the viewer in and bring beauty to the wider world.

These days, when I’m not capturing weddings or properties during the week, I’m selling fine art prints as well as running workshops and educational photographic experiences. I’m passionate about helping others develop personal creative vision and technical proficiency in order to find their photographic feet, so to speak. Whether this is via an online 1-1 tuition session, video tutorial, multi-day field workshop or a camera club presentation, there is an option for you whatever your stage in photography currently is. 

I’d love to have you come along with me on my creative journey. While the best way to digitally browse my images is here on my website, I’d love to connect on Instagram and Facebook. I am a regular co-host of Talking Landscape Photography, a live YouTube show where myself alongside Luke Tscharke and Paul Hoelen delve into many great topics and interview guests from around the world. I also help run the Landscape Photographer’s Worldwide Discord server, which is a fantastic place dedicated to talking all things landscape photography; come join the community!
