Anyone who scrolls through Facebook pages of people, places and activities in the Lincoln County area have most likely come across dramatic photos posted under the name Out West Photography. Earlier this month, the photographer behind those images, Ben King, opened a gallery in South Beach so people can view — and purchase — his artwork in a variety of sizes and printed on several different mediums.

The Out West Photography gallery opened on June 3 in space #807 at Aquarium Village, 3101 SE Ferry Slip Road. King said he spent about a month getting the gallery space ready, but admits it’s a “work in progress” and there are a few more touches he wants to add.
