Portraits of Zachary Lee, Photographer | Utah Portrait Photographer

Zachary Lee / Los Angeles, CA / 2021 / Photo: Wendy Hurst

Photographing @zacharyleeportrait, a photographer and mountain climber in California, was like watching a sculpture come to life. Every pose was like a new cast—which perfectly matched the transformative experience of a stellar photographer workshop hosted by @aaronjayyoung and @jonnycreative. I’m eager to use everything learned here in future sessions!

Combine that with a kick I've been on about oversized objects and I knew what I wanted to do. Months ago I draped my dress form, Maggie, with yards of purple cloth I picked up secondhand for a different photo shoot.
