I Shot Over 200 Portraits Under a Bridge — Here’s What I Learned - Ben Staley
"For over a decade, I photographed more than 200 people in the exact same location — a rough, overlooked space under a bridge in a dry riverbed. No fancy studio. Mostly natural light. Blank concrete walls. Just reps.
In this video, I reflect on what that space taught me about portrait photography, creativity, leadership, and growth. How repetition sharpens your instincts. Why constraints make you better. Why location matters for the vibe, not just the look. And why there’s no magic fairy dust — only practice, effort, and showing up again and again." from the video introduction
