Who is Harvey Benge?

Harvey Benge is a New Zealand photographer who lives in Auckland and Paris. He exhibits his work in European galleries.

He claims that his photography is inspired by anything that attracts his attention while walking in the city. Benge stated that "the most successful photography raises questions, offers something else to the viewer".

His first book was Four Parts Religion, Six Parts Sin about Auckland. His second was about Dalai Lama's visit to New Zealand. His third was Not Here. Not There, which contains 69 photos cityscapes.

In 2007, Benge published his 11th book, You Are Here, which chronicles his visit to Tokyo. The book was shortlisted for the Prix du Livre at the 2006 Rencontres d'Arles. He "has twice been a finalist" of the award.
