Alex Benetel - Ethereal dream

“Patience is key” 🧚🏻⁣

#ArtemisFowl | Now streaming on @DisneyPlus @disneyplusau ⁣⁣💫⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Hi everyone, I'm so excited to finally be releasing some stills I took on the set of @ArtemisFowl! I was so lucky to be able to once again capture the magic on another incredible film set. The amount of detail that went into the creation of this film was truly extraordinary. This particular shot of a female fairy was taken in the most beautiful room that had natural light just beaming through its windows.

More to come on Instagram

“An extraordinary sight”

In January, I fell in love with the South Island of New Zealand. It’s now one of my favourite places I’ve ever been to and I cannot even begin to describe the magic I experienced while I was there.

"Something there" ✨Inspired by Beauty and the Beast

SO excited to finally share this photo!! I spent the last day of 2016 dancing around a foggy forest as Belle from Walt Disney Studios' Beauty and the Beast. I just saw the film and it's one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it. I've got my own interpretation of this scene, but I'd love to hear your own! In the meantime, I guess it's back to listening to the soundtrack...forevermore :P

** Don't think I've ever been so dressed up at 6 in the morning, but hey I think it was worth it ;)

"To strike back"  - 'Two Tubes' on the planet Jedha, in front of a crashed X-wing.

Last year, thanks to Walt Disney Studios, @starwars and @instagram, I got to visit the set of #RogueOne to take some photographs. It was probably the most surreal, amazing, incredible, out of this world thing I've ever done!! Here is one of the main shots I took on my first day. The set was absolutely incredible. I actually got to exhibit this piece in front of director, Gareth Edwards last Saturday in San Francisco. More photos to come soon (over on Instagram first)!! Only 9 more days until the film is released in the US - (7 in Aus) make sure to book your tickets. I know I am :D

“Afterlight”

This particular photo was taken back in April on a wonderful evening trip to the park with Dad and my dog, Lucy. The sky was absolutely radiant.

“Her guiding light”

Just as I was packing up my things ready to leave this location, I turned around and saw the moon. I couldn't leave without capturing it.

"A journey into a forsaken world"

I have to say, this was one of the most incredible locations I have ever travelled to. I was staying down the South Coast back in April and began to research different locations I hadn't visited before. This one came up and I was blown away. I can't wait to go back and shoot there again, especially during different weather conditions.

“A concealed paradise” ft.Becky Chatfield from the Wagana Aboriginal Dancers

Becky and I ventured off to this beautiful location in the Blue Mountains and had it all to ourselves for an hour or two. It was definitely worth the hike and turned out to be one of my favourite days of 2016 so far. I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting a little Jane from Tarzan vibe.

Yes those are spider webs. Yes they are real. The entire forest was flooded with them on this weird and magical morning.
