APA/LA at Canon: The Commercial Work Is The Personal Work - event is free to all APA Members

“One for the client, one for myself!” - with that mantra running in his mind, Benjo Arwas makes award-winning advertising images of celebrities and high-end fashion, shooting images that fulfill the client’s needs while also making versions that push his personal visual boundaries. This unusual balancing act results in both exceeding and surprising the client’s expectations, as well as making striking, rule-breaking images with high production values! Where most photographers are overwhelmed with conflicting client demands and production headaches, Benjo succeeds in both reassuring the clients, and in making daring experimental images!

“I’m my own ultimate client” is Benjo’s philosophy - he must reward himself with his new images, in order to stay motivated and excited about moving forward in his career. In a commercial-photography world that has become overwhelmingly competitive and chaotic, his steadfast methodology and his continuing string of successful images has led to very satisfied (and repeat) clients. Come see his images and listen to his explanation of how his meticulous and thorough production, and reliable and committed team, support his visual exploration and growth!
