42 Amazing Black and White Behind the Scenes Photos Taken by Richard Beymer During the Filming of “Twin Peaks” (1992)

Richard Beymer, who played Benjamin Horne in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, took a remarkable series of black and white, behind the scenes photographs during the filming of the original series’ final episode in 1991. With David Lynch’s permission, Beymer used his own Olympus camera to document the final days on set after the in-house photographer had left due to the show’s cancellation.

The resulting candid images, often in the iconic Black Lodge set, are highly regarded by fans for their intimate and eerie quality. They offer a unique look at the cast and crew, including shots of Killer Bob (Frank Silva), David Lynch, and other major characters, often out of character or during a break from filming.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me has been positively re-evaluated in the 21st century, and is now widely regarded as one of Lynch’s major works. Lynch and Frost eventually received funding to produce a third season of the TV series in 2017, which revisited several plot threads from the film. In 2019, the British Film Institute ranked Fire Walk with Me the fourth-best film of the 1990s.
