Ben Hopper

Hello and welcome to my Patreon! 😃 A place where you can join a community that supports my art and, in return, enjoy exclusive early access to archives of uncensored content — and more! NOTE: If you're using Apple, it's best to join via the Patreon desktop website instead of iOS to avoid Apple's additional 30% in-app purchase fee. My name is Ben Hopper. I’m a portraitist conceptual photographer—an artist using photography as my main medium, and people as my main subject. Since 2007, I’ve been creating fine art photographic projects, focusing on contemporary circus, dance and nudes. Through my work, I celebrate the beauty of the human form. I utilise photography to find new ways to observe sexuality as well as investigate identity and gender. I strive to raise awareness surrounding nudity censorship, shame and social taboos. My most recognised projects include 'Naked with Masks', 'Transfiguration' and 'Natural Beauty'. Patreon is a membership platform that provides business tools for creators to run a subscription content service. It allows creators and artists to earn a monthly income by providing exclusive rewards and perks to their subscribers, or "patrons". Patreon is used by Artists, YouTubers, webcomic artists, writers, podcasters, musicians, adult content creators, and other categories of creators who post regularly online. It allows artists to receive funding directly from their fans, or patrons, on a recurring basis or per work of art. I’ve been looking for a way to gain full control of my creative process for a while. I see my Patreon as a community, where art-loving-humans can become a bonafide, real-life patrons of the arts. My patrons help me sustain my artistic freedom and boost my ability to make work in its purest form - without any commercial influence or restrictions, be it financial or geographical. Since I started photographing in 2007, I've also accumulated a massive archive of unpublished photographs. Having a core group of supporters is a fantastic incentive to keep me on my toes, putting things out there and being productive. It will allow me to dedicate time to process and release years’ worth of unpublished archives as well as to create and develop new art and projects worldwide. There are currently over 2400 images with 65+ full photo sessions, uncensored and exclusive on this Patreon. As a patron, you will have access to all of that, but you’ll also be part of a unique community that is involved and invested in my creative journey. A community with premier exclusive early access to archives of uncensored content, contributing to my progress as an artist. You will be the first to see all of my new work, full sets in original uncensored form, weeks and sometimes months before everyone else. …but more than anything, imagine one of your favourite creators making a living doing what they do best, because of you! All pledge levels above £5 grant access to all content on my Patreon and go toward sustaining all of my work & projects. Please pledge whichever amount you're comfortable with. If you’ve enjoyed my art in the past and would like to contribute to its future, I hope you’ll consider becoming a patron.
