Art Photo Print Work on
"A Study of Emotions"
with SF Dramatic Art Photographer:
Pascal Shirley
Pascal Shirley was shooting child actors who could show lots of emotions and Zack was 9 and loved the challenge. Pascal had a part in Zack's serious interest in photography - he was shooting with 4x4 negatives.
“Zack's great at coming up with lots of different emotions.
I was looking for range... and he had lots of ideas -
he made it easy.”
-Pascal Shirley

Zack is a healthy vegetarian and has been all his life.
He plays Basketball, does Parkour Gymnastics, and is starting to learn to surf. He has studied Kempo, Kung Fu, Ninjistu, and currently is learning Aikido.
He says it helps him to feel peaceful & yet focused.
He is also learning
Italian on his own to prepare for a class at Cabrillo and going to Italy in the future.
He was inspired to do this after studying the life of
Lenardo DiVinci.
He is very accomplished at video games
yet stopped on his own for a over a year
to focus only on Digital Nature Photography.
This was after spending a whole summer earning
a pro camera and then just over a year later,
6 photos of Zack's won 1st place in various catagories at the
2011 Santa Cruz County Fair.
He continues to focus on learning all he can about being a
Nature Photographer with:
Lightroom & Photoshop Elements along with on-line tutorials & workshops with Pro Photographers.
In addition to photography, Zack loves to study comedy - and works on comedy material by watching the many great comedians & comedic films and on the internet and taking classes when he can. Zack is continually learning all about doing Improvization, Stand Up, & Skits that can lead
to comedy video shorts & film ideas.
Besides playing comical characters...
Zack also has a totally genuine,
natural style where he shows
a wide range of complex dramatic layers -
and brings interesting ideas
to any project.

COMEDY/HOSTING SKILLS
He has always had an exceptial ability to memoreize lines quickly and follow directions respectfully.
As far as hosting, he is able to offer comedy to all situations & be gracious while keeping his composure
and getting the job done
of announcing the next act in the show.
If you have a cool project
