Hey there! My name is Zak.

I’m a New York based explorer, self-taught freelance photographer, videographer, and creative strategist by way of the Midwest.

Learn more about why you should hire me as your one-stop creative shop.

My passions are creative strategy, digital media, visual storytelling, environmental justice, and sustainable living. Growing up along the shores of the Great Lakes, and frequenting the Cabin my grandpa built in the woods, instilled in me at a young age a deep appreciation for the natural world. My mission is to use the medium of photography as a vehicle to positively amplify environmental and positive change, ultimately leading to a more sustainable and just world.
