About Me
My name is Ben Renouf and I am a graphic designer and photographer from Melbourne. I have been studying my bachelor of design at Swinburne for the last three years, majoring in communication design and minoring in photomedia, and will be expecting to graduate mid 2026. So far I have done extensive freelance work with the charity Trevs Story, including website creation, logo and branding design and much of their collateral. I have also worked with Zoos Victoria as a freelance photographer, working mostly to capture events, function spaces and catering within the Healesville Sanctuary. Other work includes album covers and photography for local musicians, corporate headshots, professional car photography and more, both as university assignments and work for real clients.
