Benjamin Willis

Benjamin Willis, is a native of Columbus, Ohio and an artist within the Community. Specifically through the lens of photographic and anthropological work. As a self taught photographer, he aims to show the richness and complexity of the inner fabric of Columbus folk. As an African American I believe it’s imperative for us to tell our stories and show our perspective, imagination, and creativity of our people. Benjamin, received a BA in painting & drawing, as well as a BA in Philosophy at Otterbein University in 2014. Served as the resident artist at Otterbein University the following year (2015).
