BENJAMIN
CO//LAB

Ben Arnst is a photographer, filmmaker, and futurist whose work takes him where few cameras go. With 110+ days filming in the Alaskan wilderness with Nat Geo — to hunting and trapping alongside native Inuit and Iñupiaq communities — filming Emmy Award–winning cinematography for National Geographic's Life Below Zero, capturing stories that few can reach and fewer can tell. From surfing Alaska's untouched coastline to living on the land with indigenous communities, his work inspires a generation to get outside and experience nature to the fullest.

Career Highlights: Ben began his creative career pursuing a life as a physical architect — in his early 20's hired to work with a team building the world's largest architectural composites and sculptural installations, most notably the iconic façade of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. He is now a digital architect: using the power of storytelling to build tech-enabled media systems, brand narratives, and storytelling platforms that earn attention, credibility, and lasting demand across multiple industries.

Passionate about the power of story to shift culture toward health, vitality, and a deeper relationship with the natural world, Ben splits his time between adventure documentary, branded content, and collaborating with impact-driven businesses and brands.
