Award winning director and photographer Ben Strang signs with Chisel

Ben Strang, fresh off his recent campaign work for the Samsung Z Flip5 featuring internationally acclaimed superstar Sydney Sweeney, has joined the ranks of emerging talents Emily Mays and Murli Dhir on Chisel’s expanding roster.

Strang is an award-winning commercial filmmaker and photographer, recognized for his exceptional visual storytelling and ability to capture authentic human performances. He has earned numerous industry accolades, including a SXSW Grand Jury Award and a coveted Cannes Lions Award. With an impressive portfolio that spans both broadcast and print, Strang has worked with prominent clients such as United Airlines, US Virgin Islands Tourism, and Samsung.

“I have always loved the unique advertising born out of Australia and New Zealand’s creative industries, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to join the team at Chisel. Zak, Pat, and Izzy have an incredible energy and sense of story about them, and I’m honoured to be embarking on this creative adventure together.”

Says Strang

Ben Strang is renowned for his highly collaborative working style, excelling at directing grounded human moments amidst breathtaking action. A lifelong adventure sports enthusiast and adrenaline junkie, Strang’s work masterfully blends vibrant documentary realism with meticulous visual storytelling. This unique approach gives his films an authentic feel, as though he genuinely lives the stories he’s portraying, allowing viewers to connect deeply with the narratives he creates.

“I love taking a film and finding those little moments of magic that we all relate to in the scenes, the things that other people might miss. That’s what makes great commercial filmmaking to me—the little details that you see in a TV commercial and think, ‘Oh yeah, that’s so true. I relate so much to that.’”

Says Strang

“Ben is such a talent. He’s both a slick commercial photographer and a gifted director whose background in the edit suite makes him an insightful storyteller. I love his ability to capture nuance in a premium and cinematic way. His commercial work always feels so authentically human, and I’m excited to work with him on commercial and passion projects in the years to come.”
