ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

One day, Benjamin Jordan became tired of fashion and advertising photography in Toronto and gave away everything he owned except for his camera and skateboard, which he then rode to Vancouver, producing his first photo-documentary. Over the course of the 8000 km journey west, he fell in love with the power of genuine imagery -- real people, doing real things, and chose to devote his life to this. He has since, travelled the world, began Paragliding, set a new World Distance Record by flying a Powered Paraglider back east across Canada, written a children's book and produced a handful of inspirational documentaries. Today, he calls British Columbia's West Kootenay region home where he lives in his school bus and works passionately to inspire the world around him, one frame at a time.
