About Artist

Benjamin Gibson

Benjamin Gibson is a Toronto-based photographer and creative director whose work explores the intersection of grit and beauty in urban landscapes and portraits. With a background in commercial and fine art photography, Gibson’s style is characterized by its raw, unfiltered approach to capturing the human experience. His fascination with street photography began with a desire to tell the stories of everyday people, often overlooked in the hustle and bustle of city life. Benjamin explores the balance between life's grit and life's beauty, convinced one can't exist without the other.
