[FRAMED] Episode 16: Benjamin Edwards

Benjamin Edwards and his wife, Lauren, are a husband and wife pair photographing weddings and cultures all over the world. But they are much more than photographers. They are humanitarians and most definitely... angels to many.

Benjamin puts it best: "i'm inspired by my faith, my wife (she's my better three quarters) my children, coffee and fog. most of the time in that order. i believe beauty's resting place isn't reserved for the glossy magazine pages we've grown accustomed to seeing, or the high price beer ads on super bowl sunday. i believe beauty can be found in the young and old of africa and the forgotten elderly of our united states, the eyes of the homeless and hurting, and in those who may be too large to fit in the box people like to title "beautiful."
on some level, i'm still getting to know who i am. my journey isn't complete and i'm thankful for the opportunity to grow. i feel beyond blessed that i get to capture the world for a living, but make no mistake, who i am is not "what I do" and I believe the same goes for you.
rock on friend."

In this episode, we take you to a part of Africa where the circumstances are unfortunate yet absolutely awakening. Benjamin's camera is yet a tool. And his kind heart is the inspiration to awaken the world to the beautiful people of Africa.

Ben. I love your heart for God's people. Using your passion for such God-glorifying way. May God bless you in your passion, your family, and may God bless you in showing His glory to you everyday with the photos you take.

It is such an inspiration to know that someone else is willing to use their passion for the glory of God and tell a story of the results of sin in this world. I myself am a photographer for such causes like Africa. My heart is for Asia.

I pray that God will present to me an opportunity to show the well-off world about another world of hurt and pain through the lens. I pray that God will be with you and your family. Thanks Ben

I agree, @Kramer534. The video is great but the audio levels really need to be fixed.

Perfect!!! Very very cool

[Kramer534]

It was amazing and inspirational! But annoying that the sound on Benjamin was so quiet compared to the music.

Keep up the good work !!

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. As a photographer, this inspires me tremendously to do work such as this. To give back, to do more, to be more. Phenomenal!
