Raised in St. Louis, Ben Pier grew up on a steady diet of drawing, skateboarding, and playing in punk bands before attending art school in Chicago. After graduating, he spent a decade in NYC applying his documentary-style photography to the realms of fashion and music. Ben is known for capturing real moments with real people with a vibrant, cinematic spirit that doesn't feel staged. His immersive approach relies on casting subjects and locations that allow him to create lifestyle work in a raw and honest way. Ben has published four monographs, the latest being Nothing You Don’t Know, published and distributed by Maison Kitsuné. His clients include Pacifico, Dr. Marten’s, Meta, Coca-Cola, Nike, 20th Century Fox, American Express, Comcast, Delta Airlines, Sony, Gatorade, Soundcloud, Taco Bell, Capital One, and Converse.
