Shortly after graduating from Colorado College with a BA in Fine Art, Ben Shearn mastered the earliest releases of computer graphics softwares like Photoshop, Illustrator & Quark Xpress --the three pillars of computer art at the time. When 3D software hit the desktop, he immediately became proficient in the modeling and rendering images to combine with his photography and design concepts. His ability to combine elements from multiple sources seamlessly and with an organic quality has set him apart.
In the 1990s, Ben Shearn Studios was in San Diego --a city known for professional photographers. He did professional retouching for the most discriminating photographers in the country. His design skills and retouching expertise led him to create leading edge conceptual images of his own. Ben was consequently invited by two of the world's top stock photography agencies to submit his highly creative conceptual images. He currently has successful portfolios represented by Getty Images, Alamy & Jupiter Images.
For nearly fifteen years Ben Shearn's imagery has been seen world-wide, representing top advertisers & art buyers for a variety of purposes and media uses. His original style of conceptually combining optical and digital techniques allows him to twist and play with images to create magical conceptual moments. His eye for composition, mood, finish and lighting is clearly visible in the candid portraiture and studio headshots.
Ben Shearn Studios moved to Los Angeles from 2000 until 2006, where Ben worked in a variety of creative areas in the film industry. Working in set-photography, creative film editing, marketing & distribution. Ben explored new technologies such as DVD authoring, non-linear film editing and interactive media concepts.
