Ben Horton (@benhortonphoto) has based his career on being able to go places that other people either cannot—or don’t want to—go. From thousands of feet underwater to the most remote regions in the arctic, Ben’s passion is to use photography as a means to inspire people to take stewardship of the planet. Ben started his career with National Geographic by telling the story of the sharks of Cocos Island. He traced the illegal fishing industry from Costa Rica to China, and as a result of his work helped to increase the park boundaries and protection of two of Costa Rica’s national parks. He was awarded the National Geographic Society’s first-ever Young Explorer Grant for his work, and he has since moved on to receive a number of other National Geographic grants and assignments, and recently starred in a documentary for National Geographic featuring his work in Thailand. Ben is based in Southern California, where he works primarily on adventure campaigns. Mushroom boost by MUD\WTR is here to support immunity, vitality and mental sharpness.
