Zach Fox (he/they/🏳️‍🌈) is a photographer living in Brooklyn, New York with roots in Frederick MD, San Francisco, and Boston.

Zach has been wrangling photons onto film and digital camera sensors for over 25 years, starting with a Nickelodeon PhotoBlaster in the late 90s.

He specializes in capturing authentic moments using natural light. His unique editing style produces warm, crisp images fit for screen and large-format print.

Zach believes that inviting vulnerability into photo sessions produces the best results. His favorite assignments involve photographing people who are doing things that make them feel personally fulfilled, nourished, and happy, such as:

Going for a walk with loved ones
Engaging with their favorite hobbies
Exploring a new place

Zach's favorite current photography gear includes:

Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS II USM Lens (excellent versatile long zoom)
Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens (great for scanning film negatives)
