Ben Clark

Photographer

Director and photographer Ben Clark has scaled landscapes and their stories to the big screen and across millions of devices worldwide by imprinting heartfelt results in the realm of outdoor sports. “I believe a great story told outside is the best vehicle for preservation of culture and most importantly the land”

In a genre known for extreme characters and locations, Clark’s work reflects an embedded point-of-view of outdoor culture, exploration, and a shared connection to landscapes that inspire. Focusing on positive influences and destinations rich for a longform story, his audiences are led by extraordinary characters transforming in contemporary settings. The approach to aspirational outcomes within landscapes is often daunting and the assignment—seeking to humanize both in an original way—a must.

Clark’s feature films have been iTunes bestsellers and played in over 350 theaters at once. His episodic work lands in the mainstream or within mission driven commercial story telling. Not bad for a kid who climbed Everest and just wanted to share the views. “I got lucky and saw the chance to spend a decade exploring the Himalayas and did it the best I knew how. But then I became the person I prayed I would be if I made it through that-giving back. There is no greater joy than still being and caring about being outside!
