Ben Pobjoy, Polymath

A young Canadian with multiple personalities

Based in Montreal, Ben Pobjoy is a producer, a creative director, a publisher, and still a young, hungry photographer. His photographs are straight-up, somewhat reflecting his tongue-in-cheek attitude: the latest issue of his brilliant photo newsprint publication ‘The Tourist’ features 40-pages on Justin Beiber by Alex Sturrock; the accompanying blog demonstrates why The Tourist and aCurator hit it off. “One of the early motivations for founding the Tourist was our collective desire to establish a platform for long-form photo essays.” I find Ben’s varied activities refreshing, and love his attitude – he offers high-res files of some of his images: “Bare walls are sad walls, so make some prints and spruce up your place.”
