I’m Benji, freediver, photographer, and aspiring intertidal sea creature. I call the cold waters of the Canadian North Pacific home where I attempt to document the dynamic ecosystems beneath the ocean’s surface on a single breath. Each photo is a love letter to the place that keeps so many of us alive. I try to use photography as a tool to better understand ways of caring for this earth.
