Introducing BES, Behind Every Shot

Hello everyone, and welcome to BES, Behind Every Shot, a fine art photography brand where every photograph has a story to tell.

My name is Besart Islami, and I’m the photographer and creator of BES. I grew up in New Jersey and later moved to California, where the diverse landscapes and coastlines reignited my passion for photography. This journey began as CapturedbyBes, and over time it evolved into something bigger. That transition led to BES, Behind Every Shot. The name BES comes directly from the first three letters of my first name, Besart. It is a reminder that this brand is deeply personal and a reflection of my identity and the stories I want to share.

At BES Photography, every image is more than just a picture. From California landscapes and coastlines to images captured across the world, including the breathtaking scenery of Macedonia, my work reflects both local beauty and international perspectives. Each fine art print is created to inspire reflection and connection. And as BES continues to grow, you can expect to see more than just California shots, with collections expanding into diverse landscapes and cultures worldwide. Every photograph carries meaning, whether it is a view that grounds you, a fleeting moment frozen in time, or a story that connects deeply with personal history.

Through this blog, I will share the journey behind BES: exhibitions across Southern California, behind the scenes of my creative process, and the inspiration that fuels each collection. I will also highlight how to collect fine art photography prints online, offering a way to bring meaningful art into your space.

This is just the beginning. Thank you for being here, and welcome to BES, Behind Every Shot, a space for photography, art, and stories that live beyond the frame.
