Photography is more than a job or a passion, it is a mission to capture the present in forever and I am truly grateful I've been gifted with such skills and vision. With more than 7 years of experience, my focus is quality and unicity. That gave me the opportunity of working with many bloggers, artist and celebrities as the personal photographer of Michael Jackson: Sam Emerson or the journalist of the New York Times: Nick Madigan, the model and public person/ influencer with over 4m followers: Haley Kalil, etc. I worked with many designers; attended several fashion shows in Chicago and NY Fashion Week. In 2023 I have opened the most unique photo studio in Chicago named "Art on You Studio". With high education in Sciences of Communication, I can say that photography is a therapy meant to help you a lot to build confidence and start loving who you are. Some of my competitors might be cheaper, but what I am offering is not just a service, it is an experience you will never forget.

Hi, I'm Zach! I live on Chicago's northwest side in Portage Park. I still can't believe I get to be a photographer in my favorite city. My dream job in my dream city? Come on! I've picked up a camera just about every day since I first fell in love with photography back in 2013. Though every shoot holds something unique, it takes a lot to catch me off guard after nearly a decade in business. My interests are all over the place, so I can't wait to see what we have in common! Will we connect over lit, music, or film? Maybe motorcycles or hiking. Might be mixology or cooking. Or we can compare tattoos! I'm sure we'll find something. I pride myself on my ability to quickly connect with my clients, making them feel comfortable, cared for, and confident that they look great. I’m good at going with the flow: not every event I’m at goes exactly according to plan and I know how to be flexible and roll with the punches. Being a helpful and calming presence in the midst of your wedding or event is second nature to me. Basically, I try to treat people how I want to be treated: with fairness and understanding! I love making new friends, so drop me a line and let’s get to it! Can’t wait to take your new favorite picture of you.
