Fine-art photographer Zachary Singer has had a camera in hand since childhoodmore than three decades now. He came to fine-art photography through his experiences in photojournalism: While shooting for Greenpeace and other environmental groups, as well as Native American tribes in the Southwest, Zach learned to quickly capture the essence of his subjects. Clarity of visual communication remains a priority and a joy for him in his artwork.
Zach has written dozens of articles on photography for magazines such as Outdoor Photographer, PCPhoto, and Digital Photo Pro, and has taught photography at California’s Santa Monica College. When time permits, he works with a select group of commercial clients.

Photograph of the Month
This image was taken in Deer Trail, Colorado, this past November. For someone like me, who grew up in Los Angeles--a huge metropolitan area--the idea that I can drive perhaps 40 miles and be out in the open country is quite surprising! I'm working to document what I find in communities like this before growing metropolitan Denver surrounds it.
While I was out shooting, two local girls came up to me; they expressed wonderment that anyone would care to bother with their little town. I told them of the great expanse of the city I grew up in, and how "exotic" their community was to me. I also pointed out how equally interesting they would find Hollywood, even though to me, that's just the place where I grew up. So, wherever you are, look around you--though your town might be just "the same old place" to you, chances are it's an adventure to someone else...
Thanks for joining me for my first newsletter--I hope you enjoy it!
--Zach
