Harvey Benge is a New Zealand photographer who lives in Auckland and Paris. He exhibits his work in European galleries.^[1]

He claims that his photography is inspired by anything that attracts his attention while walking in the city. Benge stated that "the most successful photography raises questions, offers something else to the viewer".^[2]
