Before becoming one of the Pacific Northwest's most respected documentary photographers, Ben Tobin helped shape mountain bike culture from behind the lens. His photographs appeared in many of the sport's most influential magazines, documenting the athletes, personalities, and defining moments that helped establish modern mountain biking. But while bicycles opened the first chapter of Ben's career, they were never the final destination. Today, based in Spokane, Washington, Ben's work has evolved into something much deeper. His photography is dedicated to documenting the people, places, and stories that often go unseen.
