Benjamin C. Tankersley

Benjamin C Tankersley earned his BFA in Photography from the Corcoran College of Art + Design in 1999. While forging plans to begin a lucrative career in fine art, he worked as a photo assistant and fell in love with the challenges and excitement of commercial and editorial photography. Currently working as a freelance photographer, Benjamin C Tankersley enjoys the variety of one day photographing the daily life of a dairy farmer to photographing a collection of homemade knives confiscated from prisoners the next. Whether working on assignment or for a personal project, he strives to find the story in every person, place or thing and bring back images that leave you with the feeling of having been there. Benjamin C Tankersley also teaches part time at the Corcoran School of the Arts & Design at George Washington University.
