Originally from Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, Zach has worked as a cinematographer based out of New York since he graduated NYU’s film program in 2011. His work has taken him across the world; from Taiwan to Accra, Helsinki, and Rio de Janeiro, he strives to help create an encouraging workplace and find subtle beauty and meaning no matter the story.
With a strong understanding of visual effects, Zach has worked seamlessly within productions requiring a high level of technical expertise – most recently Molli & Max In The Future, a feature utilizing virtual sets built in Unreal Engine on an LED stage.
Whether it involves groundbreaking technology or simply patience and a handheld camera, Zach enjoys exploring any technique that benefits the stories he helps tell. Films he has shot have premiered at TIFF, SXSW, Cinequest, Palm Springs, AFI Docs, Sundance Ignite, Short of the Week, and headlined Vimeo’s Staff Picks.
