Benjamin St-Juste: Behind The Lens
By Blitzfits | April 2026
An NFL defensive back with a film camera isn't something you see every day. But for Green Bay Packers DB Benjamin St-Juste — that's just who he is.
Born and raised in Montreal with French-Canadian and Haitian roots, BSJ has always moved differently. Since entering the league in 2021, he's been quietly building one of the most aesthetic archives in the NFL — not on his phone, but on film.
It all started Christmas Day 2019 with a Yashica Super Zoom Image 90 he tracked down on eBay from Japan. Gunner Stahl's portraits in the music industry sparked it.
"He was a major inspiration behind my decision to embark on this photography journey."
What kept him coming back was the uncertainty. "You don't get to see whether your photos are good until you take your film to the lab. That uncertainty is what intrigued me."
His subjects tell you everything about who BSJ is off the field. European cityscapes. Cars. Fits. And the moments that hit different — like catching his sister-in-law Anna Hall cross the finish line to become US Heptathlon champion and lock up her Olympic spot.
"I was able to capture the moment — it made her the US Heptathlon champion and secured her spot on the Olympic team."
That one goes way beyond football.
For BSJ the camera is just how he sees the world.
"It slows you down and makes you more intentional, turning even the smallest details into something worth capturing."
This is BSJ — beyond the helmet and behind the lens.
