Alan Benson

I am a large format photographer from Boise, Idaho. I like photographing urban landscapes and portraits. I also enjoy pencil drawing/sketching. I am looking forward to learning to paint with watercolor. I have been drawing as long as I can remember and enjoy using pencil and charcoal to capture the world around me. Being a large format film photographer I spent quite a bit of time in the darkroom developing film and printing. My favorite photographers are Edward Weston, Minor White and W. Eugene Smith. My favorite painter is Van Gogh.
