I am an artist and photographer currently enrolled at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) working as a Photography major.
I love photography. I've only picked it up recently in my art-making career, but it has quickly become my favorite kind of artistic medium. It started as a hobby that I wanted to pursue. I took class after class, learned the basics, and now am going to college to continue learning. Now at MICA as a full-time student, I can't wait to better my art and share it with the world.
I thank you for taking the time to look at my site and through my photographs.
I am first and foremost an artist. That is what I am trained in and that is what I work with. Photography is, from my studies, one of the only true art forms that require a multitude of different aspects all at once. Lighting, composition, content, angle, patience. Combine that with all the technical "mumbo-jumbo" and you have the ability to create something magical.
Zach is an artist and photographer currently enrolled at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) working as a Photography major.
Comparatively to his entire art-making career, photography is a recent venture for Zach. Despite being relatively new to the medium, he is persistent and determined to learn all that he can about this medium and how he can apply it to all of his art-making practices. Now at MICA as a full-time student, he continues his journey to constantly improve his craft and hopes to one day share it with the world.

puppetry
One of the core components in all of my work is appealing to the inner-child - creating for the sake of fun and glee rather than a larger purpose or conceptual goal. Puppetry, an art form I have been inspired by and invested in from an early age, plays right into that notion and quickly became an integral piece of my artistic puzzle.
Here is a sample of the puppets I've built and performed.

Spotlight: U R Tha 1!
I designed and built seven original puppet characters for U R Tha 1!, a funk-musical short film as part of the Baltimore Rock Opera's Puppet Six-Pack. Another page with more information can be found here.
Spotlight: Sam Squatch
The character of Sam Squatch was built for one of my GFA classes at MICA. I designed Sam as a way for me to expand upon my established puppet building techniques while also incorporating new methods of patterning, building, and design.
Spotlight: The Nepi clown
During the Summer of 2019, I participated in the New England Puppet Intensive in North Adams, MA, a program in which participants dove deeper into sculpting, mold-making, and casting processes, exploring the interchange between performance and design. The result of the week-long intensive, a vaudeville-style clown, is displayed here.
