Cover Photographer
Benedict Redgrove
London, United Kingdom
Benedict has a lifelong fascination with
technology, engineering, innovation and
industry, and is a dedicated proponent of
modernism. This has intuitively led him
to capturing projects and objects at their
most cutting edge. He has created an aes-
thetic of photography that is clean, pure
and devoid of any miscellaneous informa-
tion, winning him acclaim and numerous
awards.
Redgrove has amassed a following and
client base from some of the most ad-
vanced companies in the world. A career
spent recording the pioneering technol-
ogy of human endeavours has produce a
photographic art form that gives viewers a
window into an often unseen world, such
as Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, UK MoD,
European Space Agency, British Aerospace
and NASA. Whether capturing the U-2 re-
connaissance pilots and stealth planes, the
Navy Bomb Disposal Division or spending
time documenting the NASA’s past, present
and future, Benedict strives to capture
the scope and scale of advancements and
what they mean to us as human beings.
His many awards include the 2009 AOP
Silver, DCMS Best of British Creatives, and
the Creative Review Photography Annual
2003, 2008, and 2009.

dict’s work and how his pictures capture a
