Some Things You Should Have Told Me
Benge gives voice to the mundane and overlooked. His open-ended photographic sequences record small moments of everyday life.
A Short History of Photography
While looking through his contact sheets in 2007 Harvey Benge noticed that one of his pictures reminded him of a Friedlander, another of an Atget, yet others of a Tillmans, a Baldessari and Adams a Picking them out he decided to make what leading UK photography critic Gerry Badger describes in his opening essay as an 'anthology' of contemporary photography featuring some of its biggest names. The result is a sharply curated and perfectly formed collection of intriguing, beguiling and seductive images, sure to delight the photography aficionado and newcomer alike. 'Of course they are all genuine original Benges. And it is important that they are all good pictures, not mere pastiches of the "originals" of which they gently but insistently remind one. This may be a game, but games can be very serious, and this is both as serious and light-hearted exploration of photographic style.' - Gerry Badger

The work deals with the truism that 'We don't see the world as its is, but as we are', questioning perception and authorship-- Benge website.

Lucky Box
Harvey Benge scavenges the urban landscape in his quest for the bizarre and the absurd. He thrives on the everyday moments of ordinary life as he searches for the ambiguities and tensions that lie beneath modern urban living. Taken in Tokyo, New York, Sydney, Paris and London Benge's photographs remind you just how weird the world is when you really start paying attention. This is Harvey Benge's fifth book on the subject of urban landscape.
The New Color Photography
"The history of color photography goes back over one hundred years, but the medium only came of age as an art form in the late 1960s, when it was called ""the new frontiers""."
All the Places I've Ever Known
Benge's photographs reveal the bizarre absurdities of life
Minutes to Midnight
In 2003, Trent Parke began a road trip around his native Australia, a monumental journey that was to last two years and cover a distance of over 90.000 km. Minutes to Midnight is the ambitious photographic record of that adventure, in which Parke presents a proud but uneasy nation struggling to craft its identity from different cultures and traditions. Minutes to Midnight merges traditional documentary techniques and imagination to create a dark visual narrative portraying Australia with a mix of nostalgia, romanticism and brooding realism. This is not a record of the physical landscape but of an emotional one. It is a story of human anxiety and intensity which, although told from Australia, represents a universal human condition in the world today.
Pictures They Want to Make
"It is not uncommon to hear the phrase 'take a picture' used in connection with photography, when really what photographers do is make pictures. Pictures They Want to Make presents a selection of works by twelve contemporary photographers, and examines the various ways in which the images are created, and the motivations that drive them. Each of the artists has a connection to the Auckland region; some of the photographs capture aspects of that region's culture and landscape, while others testify to the mobility and ambition of the artists - their familiarity with other places and people. The images reveal distinctive identities and characters, Auckland's place in the Pacific, the influence of history on the contemporary environment, the wonder of the commonplace, and much more. Most of all, they are personal statements; they are about how the artists see the world."--Publisher description.
