Jesse Beecher is a film & digital photographer that primarily focuses on portraits and similar work. Outside of portraiture, you’d be hard pressed to find them out anywhere without a camera or two (or three! It’s a problem). They’ve been shooting film for just over a year now as of December, and originally picked up the medium as an alternative way to explore their favorite art form.
Jesse Beecher's Work
Why I shoot film
In my eyes, it feels like almost an entirely different art form from digital photography. The subject matter I shoot between my digital and film work varies drastically, and there are many times I find myself wanting to work with a more tactile medium, so using film in those situations scratches that itch. There’s also something to be said for the confidence-building it provides to be restricted to a limited number of photos to a roll, and not being able to see the final product until well after the photo was originally taken. It’s a very therapeutic feeling once you get into it.
