About
Hello! My name is Ben Dierking. I am a photographer from the Western Suburbs of Chicago. I started taking pictures with my phone in 2014, got my first camera in 2016, and then started taking classes at the College of DuPage in 2017. After many semesters and classes, I have finished with an Associates in Photo Technology from COD in 2022. Landscapes and wildlife are my specialties. After spending lots of time in the outdoors and in forest preserves, I have gained an appreciation for everything in the natural world. I like exploring places, especially those I have never been to before: both forest preserves and towns. I have visited a few towns already and plan on seeing others soon!
