Dedicated, calm under pressure, and detail-oriented, Ben Watkins  is a multi-talented creative operator who works seamlessly across set and post-production. As the person responsible for shaping the look and feel of many Preference Studio shoots, he combines strong visual instinct with technical precision, ensuring each project reaches its highest creative potential. Whether he’s directing the aesthetic on set, solving complex technical challenges, or crafting motion graphics, edits, 3D design, and animation back at HQ, his role sits at the heart of the studio’s output.

His experience spans all sectors, from tech and broadcast to fashion, culture, retail, live commerce, charity, and agency collaboration. He’s contributed to major projects for Fitbit, Samsung, the Royal Family, Dua Lipa, high-profile actors, and high-net-worth clients across the country. His ability to adapt to any environment, team, or creative scenario is one of his defining strengths.

A published and award-winning photographer, Ben transitioned into video with the same artistic discipline and eye for detail that shaped his early career. His move into 3D design and animation came through self-teaching, driven by a strong passion for creativity and a family background rooted in the arts. This foundation gives him a wider perspective, not just in how things look, but in how they should function, flow, and connect.

Within Preference Studio, he has played a pivotal role in shaping internal workflows, kit management systems, creative processes, and cross-team collaboration. He takes on responsibility across production, finance, communication, and client interaction, becoming a reliable backbone of the business.

Above all, Ben wants people to feel confident in his capability, comfort in his calm presence, and excitement about collaborating with someone who delivers high-level creative work with grounded practicality.
