Hi, I'm Benedict
Benedict Stenning
Starting in the film industry at the age of 17 as a runner, followed by roles as an Assistant Director on major productions for around a decade, provided me with valuable knowledge working within a film crew and on-set etiquette.
Passionate about cinema, photography and storytelling, there’s now nothing I enjoy more than merging these loves by capturing film stills for productions of various scales.
Building relationships and rapport with the crew and cast is something I cherish, as it allows me to capture the essence of the incredible characters they embody in still images. Additionally, I find great joy in shooting beautiful behind-the-scenes moments that capture the magic of moviemaking.
Highlights from Benedict
* Back when I was a young runner working on a Jim Henson production with Matthew Modine, I went and knocked on Matthews trailer door to ask if he’s had breakfast yet and he said “No man, have YOU had breakfast?” I replied that I hadn’t so he invited me in and made me the most delicious pancakes with maple syrup while we talked politics, movies and his time working on Full Metal Jacket with Kubrick. A beautiful moment I’ll never forget.
* At the BFI IMAX premier for Chasing Cotards for which I’d shot stills, Andrew Scott came up and gave me a huge hug whilst I was holding a glass of Champagne. It caught me so off guard and balance that I ended up tipping the contents down the back of his beautiful pink blazer. Thankfully he was super cool about it!
* Every shoot I’ve ever been on is a highlight to be honest.

Chasing Coatards Film Stills
Benedict came and shot unit stills on our IMAX film Chasing Cotards, starring Andrew Scott and Olivia Grant. The photos ended up better than I could have ever imagined and whenever I look back on them I am extremely grateful for the great work that was produced on that shoot. Ben was also a total pro on the day, we barely knew he was there! I can’t recommend him enough.
