About Us

Authenticity. Motion. Stillness. Joy. We seek out these principles with focused intent, a frame frozen in time and once captured we invest both skill and care to present it to you.

Welcome, to Ben Black Photography, we are a relationship & operations-driven photography service with a keen eye for capturing moments that tells a story and a care for our clients leveraging off a foundation of 2 decades of experience in service delivery and process-orientated workflows.

We focus on fashion photography, lifestyle photography, portraiture and event photography for individuals, private companies and organisations.

Founder Statement

My name is Marlon Sasman, I am an industry professional with nearly 2 decades of experience in customer relations, service delivery and operations management with a tertiary education background in visual arts.

The inspiration behind the name Ben Black Photography is based on a life lesson I learned nearly 2 decades ago; how to use an alias as a projection of who you want to be. Confidence can be built. Skills can be learnt. However sometimes it needs time and you will never be perfect from the start, so start with self-developing the roadmap of who you want to be, and take action on that path to then authentically become that version of yourself.

Ben Black was that persona and this business was named so as a tribute to the success of that lesson: a triumph over doubt, and an acknowledgement that you are capable of achieving what your mind can conceive.
