My name is Ben Galdes, and I’m a senior at the University of Oregon studying advertising in the School of Journalism and Communication. My experience at the SOJC has fueled my passion for photography and strengthened my ability to tell compelling visual stories. I take pride in my attention to detail and my ability to not just develop creative ideas, but to craft thoughtful strategies and bring them to life with purpose and precision.

When I’m not creating, you’ll likely find me reading Harry Potter, floating on Lake Combie, or spending time with family and friends—always with a camera close by.
