JESS BOTTA
Seattle born and now based in Spokane, Washington; with film being my first true love I try to bring the magic of motion picture to still life shots.
Drawn to light and color, I try to blend chiaroscuro lighting from the film noir era with hyperpop vibrancy in my concert work, and channel old kodak film with the retro technicolor of the 1950’s in my landscapes and portraits.
If you want your life to look like a movie - I’m your girl!

I currently shoot on a Sony a7 IV, a professional cinematic camera with exceptional low-light performance. My primary lens is a Sigma 24–70mm f/2.8, which lets me capture a wide range of framings and moments without sacrificing image quality.
For video work, I use a Rode shotgun microphone to ensure clean, crisp audio, along with an Atomos monitor for accurate framing and reliable color while filming.
For social media content for myself and clients I shoot both main and behind the scenes footage on my iPhone 14 pro max.
I edit in both Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.
