Healthy Artists

What do artists, preschoolers, and firefighters have in common? Ben photographed them! Ben Filio is a Pittsburgh-based freelance photographer and the co-founder of The University of Pittsburgh’s arts & culture magazine, The Original. In this dynamic video portrait, Ben takes us on a journey through the magazine and his photography, and even shows off his one-of-a-kind tattoo. Finally, Ben tells us about the struggles he and his young and artistic friends face under the current, broken health care system.
