Meet Jesse Mast

From an early age, whenever I could get a hold of a camera, I was making pictures. Whether it was sewing costumes, building props, and gathering neighborhood friends as actors, I was always creating something. The more I made, the more I wanted the work to last. Though I enjoy our modern world, I prefer classic to contemporary, guitars over synthesizers, cooking fresh ingredients, and conversations face-to-face. I'm passionate about ageless things, and I want the art I create to reflect that.

Since 2012, I've done professional photography and independent filmmaking in Minneapolis, MN. In recent years my passion shifted toward homes — not just photographing them, but turning those photographs into paintings. I start with a photo of your home and paint over it by hand, adding brushwork, texture, and atmosphere until the image feels like a memory rather than a snapshot. The finished piece is something made for you, the homeowner, not for a listing or a portfolio.

If you're arriving here from a search, you may also know my work as Mast Wedding Films, where I've spent more than a decade filming weddings across the world, with a specialty in Europe. The same eye for light, story, and timeless moments runs through both bodies of work.

Enough about me, though. Tell me about your home — and the wall it belongs on.
