Lewis Bench (b. 1989) is a British visual artist based in North London whose work explores architecture, space, and the environment. He first developed an interest in photography in his late teens as a form of escapism, using the camera to document his surroundings. This led to a deeper exploration of urban landscapes, both locally and through travel, examining how different environments shape experience and memory.
Having initially studied electrical installations and with a strong technical background in photography, his work is informed by an understanding of structure, light, and composition. Drawing on influences ranging from cinema and psychology to Romantic landscape painting and literature, he creates images that reframe the urban environment.
His recent project, Biophilia, captures flowers at night against the backdrop of steel and glass, exploring the tension between nature and the built environment—and the need for harmony between the two.

“My work explores the connection between society and the built environment, highlighting the need for a greater presence of the natural world—how structures shape space and how nature can enhance it. I am drawn to moments where the natural interrupts the artificial.
My current project, Biophilia, is an ongoing series in which I photograph flowers, isolating them against an urban backdrop under artificial light. The scene is transformed into something almost cinematic—floating, fragile, defiant. This series is about contrast and coexistence, the way architecture resists while nature adapts.”

“Photography allows me to reframe the familiar, revealing what often goes unnoticed. My work is not just about documenting spaces as they are, but about exploring the subtle, shifting relationships between space, structure, and the natural world.”
