About

Ben Buechel

Hello, and welcome!

As a native of Rochester, NY, I share a common birthplace with George Eastman and his invention of film. I’ve been cultivating my passion for photography since a young age, inspired by this rich legacy.

I received early photography lessons alongside my mother at Monroe Community College, and again in high school. Those foundational experiences, such as learning to master light meters and develop film in a darkroom, sparked a lifelong love for capturing moments in time through photography

Today, I almost exclusively shoot an Olympus SLR camera with 12 megapixels. It has an amazing lens and image sensor, that produces beautiful and natural looking photographs.

I occasionally use a Panasonic camera, also with 12 megapixels, which is great for street photography and low-light conditions. Either way, I also have a variety of lighting solutions from reflectors to strobes, and speedlights.

I’m educated and experienced in the many types of photography, including:

  • Weddings and Engagements
  • Senior Photos
  • Graduations
  • Dating profiles
  • social media
  • Greeting Cards
  • Book Covers
  • Work ID Badges
  • Commercial
  • Products
  • Real estate, and more…
