hey friends! This msg goes out publicly to everyone who follows or supports me and is no longer an active patron, as well as existing patrons.
Over the last 2+ weeks, many of you expressed wanting to help. I'm forever grateful even for the sentiment ❤️🩹
I wanted to update you that I've started editing, publishing and scheduling new exclusive work to be premiered on Patreon after a long hiatus. In the near future, I intend to have 1-2 posts a week. There are posts schedul...

Not sure where to go from here ...when I originally left my homeland of Israel - moving to London in 2008 - I swore to myself I would stay away from politics; "I'm a photographer - I am only going to take photos!"
I have violated this promise many times since.
...and even in those beautiful photos we took on ...

Hey friends! Wanted to give you a quick heads up to say that I am now back from a 5-month trip around Europe where I did 30+ shoots. I'm planning to spend the majority of the winter in Israel with family, processing those + a gazillion unpublished works from my archives.
Patreon will be the forefront of where I'll output everything, as early as this coming week.
Hope you're ready :) I'm SUPER excited about this.
...and speaking of which - I wanted to thank all of you who stick ...

Hey friends! I'm thinking of setting up Digital Downloads on my shop, where you could download individual shoots in PDF forms. Those PDFs will be like mini-books / Zines of each shoot and will be priced low (probably around £5 per session).
I now have about 60 shoots I've shared on here and for people who like a specif...

Today I'm sharing part 3/4 of Bunny Sin with you. It's interesting how years ago I thought 'open legs' is vulgar and now I love it. Am I becoming more vulgar with age? Truly living the 'dirty ol' bastard' cliche :o

About 2 years ago I shared a photo set I've done with the very cool incredible performer Emily England. Many of you joined my Patreon just to see these images and I am very grateful for your support and enthusiasm. However, I later learned that many of you also saved the nudes from my Patreon and did weird things like sharing them online in inappropriate ways while tagging Emily as well as messaging the photos to her brother who works and performs with her.
As a result, she asked me to ...

Hey all! Very happy to share photos from the 2nd shooting day with Noa at the Dead Sea. These were taken during sunrise on Apr 7, 2022.
I'm super happy with them. We managed to finish shooting just before a religious family with their children came to check those 'salt mushrooms'. Would be funny to have them seeing Noa spreading legs with a latex hood. God isn't probably into that kind of humour tho I guess.
Photographed for my project 'Human Nature'. The Dead Sea, Israel.

Today I'm sharing part 1/3 from a new beautiful set created with Noa at the Dead Sea (Israeli side) on Apr 6, 2022. This shoot is a part of my 'Human Nature' project.
The photos were taken during sunrise, around 7am. I met Noa on FetLife (social platform for the BDSM / Fetish community, you can connect with me with the handle @BenHopper) - hence the latex hoodie (she's a kinkster).
oh ye, you can find her Fet...

It took me 5 years of waiting and 5 hours of hiking to snap these photos of Beast, an incredible Italian woman I've been wanting to photograph since I ran into her online in 2017.
Last October, I visited Milan where she used to live, and when I messaged her asking if she was around to make some photos she replied: "Do you want to come to climb a mountain with me and my boyfriend?".
The answer is within these photos.
It was more of a hike than a photo shoot, but we...

Last Oct I visited my good friend Darian in Brittany (FR). To get there I had to take a train from Paris and back. I needed to spend a couple of nights in the beginning and end of this trip and wanted to find a friendly place to stay. I recalled meeting L'Atlas (real name Jules) at the 2019 Hong Kong Walls murals festival I was a part of. L'Atlas is an incredible graphic artist and he told me to let him know if I ever come to Paris. I msged him to ask if he had a spare bed or sofa I could cru...

It is with great excitement that I am resuming my Patreon posting! I am allocating time to process and edit old and new shoots, and in the near future, I will once again, have regular new work shared exclusively on Patreon first!
Today I'm starting with part 1 of 6 of a shoot I've done with Bryony Louise in a park in Turin, Italy located around the Stura di Lanzo (river) - I'll share the 2nd part later today! :)
