Benjamin Wallen

I am a Chapman University Dodge College of Film and Media Arts Graduate who works full time during the day at UCSF Educational Technology Services as a Technician Supervisor and Innovation Specialist. I primarily use Ricoh/Pentax cameras for exceptional image quality.

My passion for technology, through advancing ease of use, incorporating best practices, allows for dramatic images in a refined process from shooting to editing. I have been creating and working with audio visual technology since I was a kid. From video production to designing, building, and operating a public access television station, I have held many roles in many types of projects.

I firmly believe that giving back is a responsibility we all have as human beings on this planet. Working at UCSF I support educators and medical practitioners in a wide range of technology and services.

Photography is my art form.

My motto: Lead with love, work harder, and get it done. Never forget, we’re all in this together.
