Professional photographer, Benjamin Lowy talks about his passion for photography and fatherhood.

Benjamin explains this video on his Instagram:

"I've been a photographer a lot longer than I've been a dad. But I'm quickly realizing that it isn't what I leave behind for the world to see, but how I teach my sons to see the world." -

This summer I had the amazing opportunity to work with my life partner @marvilacar on this project about being photographers and being parents.

As photographers, we've been incredibly lucky to have been given the opportunity to travel, meet different people, experience new cultures and learn from countless stories. We wanted to share the value of those experiences with our children.
