Chun-Li “Ken” Huang and Ben Thomas Ward: Applying Passion for Photography Into Student Storytelling

Every semester spent at Marist for Ken (left) and Ben (right) has been documented by very experimental and often bizarre short films. Ward and Huang were able to bring this spirit to every future collaboration as they honed their skills behind the camera. Photography from the two has also been featured in the Steel Plant’s own gallery. They also worked together on the Marist Circle’s 2019 special initiative, a short documentary titled “Love, Interpreted.” While they worked side-by-side on every stage of the project, Huang shot much of the principle photography while Ward completed most of the editing.
