Ben Rayner

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ben Rayner is a London based photographer who is part of the Real Gold crew. He has contributed extensively to Vice Magazine and Dazed & Confused. In December 2007 he was chosen for Grafik Magazine's retrospective on great graphic design of the year.

He has a sideline in semi-professional gambling, focusing mainly on roulette machines. He has been known to sing an excellent rendition of 'Born to Run' by Bruce Springsteen, but he will only ever perform if he has props, no sans props Karaoke is allowed.

Ben is very fond of Bodean's restaurant in Soho, London. He especially likes the pulled pork sandwiches and the unlimited refills on soft drinks. Sometimes Ben likes to take his co-workers out for Italian meals, he usually opts for lasagna and a glass of coke - the correlation between these lunch trips and his winning at roulette is clear.

He has recently set out on a voyage into profesional modelling, being featured in the new UNIQLO catalogue/magazine. In this shoot he is exploring his previously under exposed sexy side as he relaxes in a vest, sweating slightly.

Ben recently flew into a rage at the popular East London pub, the Griffin. He was half way through a tense after-work game of pool with co-workers when a drunk Chinese girl accidentally moved a ball. he was reported to have shouted : "WHAT THE F--K ARE YOU DOING?" three times.

Ben has tattoos of: books, snakes, owls, cameras, roses, tears, unicorns, gramophones, light bulbs, skulls, goblins, tigers, umbrellas, keys, whales, double headed eagles, candles, flames, hearts, a woman with a swan and a rose sprouting out of her head and some knives.
