Benjamin Swanson’s still-life photographs focus on the study of materials. Increasingly interested in the tension between manmade objects and the natural world, Benjamin’s work is driven by contemporary debate surrounding sustainability, the environment, and consumerism.
To mark the start of the Spring equinox, Benjamin Swanson visits the Butterfly Gardens in Sussex to document natures’ masters of transformation. To accompany the project, Benjamin has produced a beautiful limited edition run hand-handmade biodegradable zine, launching with an exhibition at Photo Book Cafe in July 2025.
