Benjamin Hollander
@benjaminhollander
I create art direction, photography, and graphic design for brands, products, and campaigns.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I'm an independent art director and photographer creating images, photo shoots, fine art, commercials, and graphic design work.
Through freelance work, I capture fleeting and ephemeral moments for myself and others, with an evolving portfolio at bwhollander.com. I also serve as Principal at 131.
At Lava Heat Italia, I reimagined the brand as modern and elegant, designed magazines, spec sheets, and marketing materials, and photographed and retouched products.
I've also designed production layouts, managed large-format printers, supported shipping operations, developed product marketing, promoted artists, and led creative instructional sessions.
