Benedict Brain is a UK-based photographer, journalist and artist. He is an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society and sits on the society’s Distinctions Advisory Panel. He is also a past editor of Digital Camera Magazine, and the author of You Will be Able to Take Great Photos by The End of This Book.

Tourism and travel are themes that have underpinned most of my photography for the past six years or so, albeit with a little break for the Covid-19 pandemic, although, strangely, I have never considered myself a ‘travel photographer’.
