Ben Craven and The Section

Ben Craven has been making a name for himself as a genius in a new generation of prog rockers. In late 2011 he followed up his debut Two False Idols album with the pretty incredible Great and Terrible Potions. Ben’s music has been described as ‘cinematic rock’, and when you listen you’ll understand why. I find every single one of his songs paints vivid visual images, even before the vocals start. As a photographer, I almost feel compelled to go out and shoot an image for each song just to get some closure. The word ‘epic’ is thrown around for a lot of things now, but you don’t know epic until you’ve heard some of the cinematic soundscapes Ben creates.

I caught up with Ben, Jason and Chad for an afternoon shoot, giving the boys an hour off from rehearsals ahead of upcoming gigs!

Ben is performing with The Section at The Tempo Hotel on Friday 30 November.
