Benjamin Wolf’s recent contribution to “African American Lives,” the celebrity genealogy series, that The New York Times called “the most exciting and interesting documentary on television, on any subject, in a long time,” continues a tradition that Benjamin has built on throughout his career as a Director of Photography.

His skills of composition and lighting, and his intuitive ability to support
a director’s vision make him a much sought after collaborator on a wide range of topics.  These range from the Emmy winning PBS series “Slavery and the Making of America” to the popular TLC series “Shalom in the Home.”  Benjamin’s work has taken him to far flung places like Brazil, Lebanon, and Nigeria with clients including the acclaimed historical documentary series “American Experience,”
as well as A&E, Nickelodeon, MTV, VH1, Dateline, Discovery Channel, History Channel, Court TV and TNT.

With over a dozen features and shorts to his credit, Benjamin has expanded his reputation for artistic storytelling on films such as the critically acclaimed “Skypeople,” "Talking to Stan," "A Day Off,"
and "Pater Familias." In addition he shot the theatrically released documentary “Losing It” in Hong Kong and New York.

Seamlessly expanding to the role of Director, Benjamin recently worked as Director/Cameraman on the upcoming Sundance Channel series “Nimrod Nation” about a high school basketball team and the community that supports them.

After graduating from the Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University, Benjamin began his career on the highly successful PBS documentary series “West Virginia.” Working in all areas of production on this six-hour state history saga, inspired his desire to pursue cinematography as the means of bringing stories
to life.
