Woody Jacobs is a South Bend native. His love of photography was inspired by his father’s love of and appreciation of the beauty in nature that they experience everyday as his father would tell Woody to stop and smell the roses. After Woody’s father’s passed away in 2012, Woody became keenly aware of the beauty that he was so fond of. He started taking the time to literally pull over and take the picture. In 2018 he discovered infrared photography which really struck a nerve as he always favored black and white photography so it’s only natural that I would love infrared. It was the combination of newfound appreciation of nature and infrared that he decided to try and share this passion.
Woody enjoys delving into many different types of photography from shooting with film again using some cameras that are nearly 75 years old. Just recently he started developing his own film and has plans to start printing in the dark room. 

In his own words:
“I appreciate the ease and flexibility of modern digital cameras; I also find it challenging and rewarding to utilize the completely analog process of shooting film again”.
