Jake Benzinger is a photographer, book artist, and writer based in Rockland, Maine; he received his BFA in photography from Lesley University. Through the dislocation of space, he weaves together imagery to construct a world that exists in the liminal, investigating themes of mysticism, identity, animism, and the natural world.

His work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally. Jake’s body of work, Like Dust Settling in a Dim-Lit Room (Or Starless Forest), was recently self-published, shortlisted for the 2023 Lucie Photo Book Prize, and sold out of its first edition books. A second edition was released in late 2023, coinciding with a solo show at the Griffin Museum of Photography.

Jake is currently a gallery assistant, a content editor for Lenscratch, and the founder of wych elm press.
