Hi, I’m Zach.

Photography and film have always fascinated me. The way an image can hold attention, suggest a story, and mean something different to every person who sees it.

That curiosity has become my career. I direct, produce, and photograph work across documentary, brand, editorial, and commercial projects, often working with people who have deep expertise or a strong connection to the places and communities around them.

I’m especially drawn to projects that combine people, environment, and a clear point of view. Whether I’m working in a studio, on location, or in the backcountry, I care about preparation, trust, and making images that feel grounded in the experience rather than imposed on it.

I’m also continually learning new tools and production methods, from evolving camera systems to virtual production, but the technology is always secondary to the work itself: the people, the place, and the story being told.

Outside of work

You’ll usually find me outside. I’m most often running, riding, climbing, or somewhere with a camera!
