Not only are you an amazing photographer, but storyteller, and teacher. Love your videos so far. I had never heard of you before seeing your x100v video on your channel. Love your work!
I love these deconstruction of a photo videos. They are so inspirational. Joe Mcnally had a series like this a while ago (he may still...admittedly, I haven't watched him or his stuff in years.) and it was a great way to get ideas about the very things you talk about.... lighting, props, posing, and it really is a wealth of information. Thank you Zack.
Dude,basically me and my friend learnt photography with your one light tutorial,years ago,just wanted to comment and thank you,we are inspired by you and appreciate it Be good and blessed man,keep it going 🌺🙏
Cool! Love the image. And the proces you're showing. Just stumbled on your channel today and I'm exploring some more video's. The ones I stumbled on were Lighting White Seamless 1 & 2. Great info there! Hope you'll continue with the channel. Thanks for all the info.
Always an inspiration to me to hear about your sessions. There is so much noise out there about having the latest stuff and you just don't need it to be creative.
I was drawn to this photo when I first saw it on your website. I love hearing the thought process behind an image. And capturing an image is a process. This makes me miss the time I spent setting up lights to capture an image. I don't do it as often as I used to simply because of chronic knee pain.
I’ve got one of these show and tell videos coming up where I’ll talk more about that. It started for me on an image where I accidentally clicked on the carpet in the room, it through the colors all off and... I liked it. White balance off carpet? Never!
Great portrait, I like the concept and the editing you've done. I also think that it was good to leave out the frame from the floor, it was taking too much attention away from the chairs, in my opinion.
ALL of it! I take my full bag of lights and cameras. If you go to my channel here you’ll see two videos from a few years ago where I talk through all my gear I take on location. It hasn’t changed much since then. I also take a few extra things every now and then like the hot light I mentioned in this video, smoke machine, wardrobe, etc.
Love the video. Thank you for taking me with you in your process. Love the result! Started to follow you on TH-cam and Instagram immediately! But.. I don't see the photo on your insta. Why did you choose to not upload this peace of art?
I'd love to see more of these BTS videos! I found this one really inspiring. I never do portrait stuff but I've spent the afternoon searching for cheap lights so I can give it a go
The last couple of minutes have the audio is out of sync a bit. I think you have had that problem before with your settings. Not sure what that is, but wanted to let you know. Or maybe it is just my connection.
I don’t know what’s going on. I have seen it before but I’m not seeing it in this one. Others have told me there’s no issues while still others say they are having sync issues. It’s becoming quite frustrating.
Thanks for the walk-through and the symbolism. Many of my chairs are made from mesquite, so they are super-heavy and you can barely lift them. I had always seen your chairs as flying, in this photo, rather than tied together on the verge of collapse! Maybe like a Lois Greenfield photo? Anyone else seeing video/audio sync issues with this? Zack, did you change mikes again?
Hi Zack. Another interesting video. Thanks. One thing: I suggest you grab C1 v20 (v13 really). I'll bet you would have used the new Black slider on this image. :-) Stay safe.
Brilliant shot. Two things...did you have a fill light in the back of the room? And second, you really need to update your version of C1, the new high dynamic settings are killers! :)
"I know it's all behind me... the smoke is filling the room...." Maaann... I know that feeling... though mine is more like an 800 pound mama bear that I can't outrun, and there isn't another guy to kneecap so the bear gets him instead.
Why did you remove the frame from the floor….it could be integral to the scene especially where he ended up gazing, may be a frame of someone he loved and lost. (no picture in it) . your instinct was right on the money…follow the first one hits you.
YES! HE'S BACK! I missed this. keep it up.
Loved the photo and yes it did evoke the idea that everything can come crashing down. Love the way you think.
Please don't leave again, Zack. Thank you for your amazing video and Skillshare!
Thank you!
Nice to know how you work!!! thanks for sharing your experience and your personal work !!! like that!!
I love the photo and the story. Plus you are so darn engaging -- like a friend I've known forever.
Thanks!
Great video. Liked how you shared the though process behind the shot.
Not only are you an amazing photographer, but storyteller, and teacher. Love your videos so far. I had never heard of you before seeing your x100v video on your channel. Love your work!
Thanks! Glad you are here!
Some of these pictures remind me of Gregory Crewdsons work.
Awesome as always, Zach
That’s some good portrait! Like your work, thanks for sharing

Get off your butt then; Joe is STILL cranking them out....and a MASTER at flash.

Great to see you back ❤️

Great video, Zack! Thank you for your open and authentic videos and your emphasis on art over gear.
Great idea and picture.
Great photo and insight into the thought process behind it. Thanks for sharing 📷👍

The story and thought process your photos are always interesting. It tells me how much goes into a picture. Thank you.
Glad to be of service!
Thanks Zack, really enjoy watching your work flow and thought process.
Nice. More of this. 👍🏻
Loved that image first time I saw it back then. Now, listening to your metaphorical, personal perspective behind that scene, I super-love that image
Thanks. I appreciate that.
Thanks Zack!! This was very helpful. Greets from Holland!
Great job :)
Keep up the good work!
This video is very fun and interesting, thanks for sharing!
Great shot, loved how you talked us through the shot 👌
loved it :-) cool to see a project evolve!
This was great! Never thought about using the dropper to click on an area other than to produce a "correct" white balance.
I’ve got one of these show and tell videos coming up where I’ll talk more about that. It started for me on an image where I accidentally clicked on the carpet in the room, it through the colors all off and... I liked it. White balance off carpet? Never!

where are you now? we miss you and your knowledge!
T.J is a very patient man! Just photograph the people in your life. Awesome. Awesome video again man. How do you like Capture one man?
C1 isn’t as intuitive as LR but I do like it!
LOVE the shot.
🙌❤️🙌
@@ZackAriasATL But I have to ask: We know the light you used, but tell us this: HOW MUCH gear did you take?!! (and not use)
ALL of it! I take my full bag of lights and cameras. If you go to my channel here you’ll see two videos from a few years ago where I talk through all my gear I take on location. It hasn’t changed much since then. I also take a few extra things every now and then like the hot light I mentioned in this video, smoke machine, wardrobe, etc.

love this
Glad to be of service!
Love it, thank you!!
Loved it Zack. Now that all the bullshit is over, (on the 20th Jan) I hope you can get back to the vids 😉👍
The last couple of minutes have the audio is out of sync a bit. I think you have had that problem before with your settings. Not sure what that is, but wanted to let you know. Or maybe it is just my connection.

I want to move to Capture One . I have always loved this image.
You're amazing
Thanks for the walk-through and the symbolism. Many of my chairs are made from mesquite, so they are super-heavy and you can barely lift them. I had always seen your chairs as flying, in this photo, rather than tied together on the verge of collapse! Maybe like a Lois Greenfield photo?
Anyone else seeing video/audio sync issues with this? Zack, did you change mikes again?
I don’t know what’s happening with sync issues. I’m not seeing it but other have. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Photo History: Reminds me of the Phillipe Halsman print, doing a Salvador Dali theme. Bottom-line: rocks.
" Thanks MRS ARIAS for letting Zack come out and play "....lol thanks dude
Ok that's cool
Hi Zack. Another interesting video. Thanks.
One thing: I suggest you grab C1 v20 (v13 really). I'll bet you would have used the new Black slider on this image. :-)
Stay safe.
It is time for me to update.
You should've gotten the Surface Pro...lol Love mine!
I'd have had to go black and white on this one I think.
Hey, Zack. Excellent problem solving! You're a true master.
Also, what's the camera store that you mentioned. I'd love to pay them a visit.
Capture Integration! They are the medium format pros. www.captureintegration.com
1/13 s.... what kind of wizardry is that?? :D nice photo, thanks for insight :)
Camera was on a tripod. 👍
Brilliant shot. Two things...did you have a fill light in the back of the room? And second, you really need to update your version of C1, the new high dynamic settings are killers! :)
Yeah. It is time to upgrade. And no other additional light from me. Aside from the one hot light the rest is ambient.
"I know it's all behind me... the smoke is filling the room...." Maaann... I know that feeling... though mine is more like an 800 pound mama bear that I can't outrun, and there isn't another guy to kneecap so the bear gets him instead.
Hahahaha! You don’t have to run fast... just faster than the other guy. I get that!
Wait a second
Why did you remove the frame from the floor….it could be integral to the scene especially where he ended up gazing, may be a frame of someone he loved and lost. (no picture in it) . your instinct was right on the money…follow the first one hits you.
Like the smoke hmm Capture 1 ok bro
Are you O.K?
Love it! Just clone out the turd on the rug near the chair's leg, just left of the subject. :-}
