ZACH HYMAN
Zach was born and raised in Northern California with his younger brother, Adam, by his Mom Dad, Lynn and Alan. His childhood was full of love, life, and support from friends and family. Zach always wanted to be a spaceman, which may have developed as a testament to his father, but more likely to fulfill his wild imagination. At age seven he moved to Houston, Texas, and then relocated to Philadelphia at age 14.
He was always attracted to theater for the excitement and attention, and after graduating high-school in Pennsylvania he attended North Carolina School of the Arts for Conservatory Training in the Theater Arts. After two years and the gracious gift of 50,000 dollars of tuition from his parents; Zach decided to leave school and pursue his ongoing passion for photography.
Zach did not fly around the planet, or go to the moon but his journey has been more than cosmic. New York City has allowed this young photographer to burst into his own. In only two short years he's managed to land work with Patrick McMullan, Peter Hurley, Sesame Street Workshop, Makeup Forever, and many other independent clients. Zach takes the utmost pride in his work, but his real passion is to expand and evolve his own creations.
In August of 2009 his first solo exhibition titled "Decent Exposures" gained worldwide press and exposure. Since then Zach has worked on many creative/fashion oriented projects including a second exhibition titled "Glitterous;" a collaboration with Carrie Shaltz. Work from both exhibitions have been displayed in group shows in New York and Los Angeles with artists including; David LaChapelle, Ryan McGinley, Herb Ritts, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Nan Goldin. He couldn't be more humbled and honored to show with his idols and inspirations.
Zach's ideals and beliefs may not coincide with the next person, but he still respects the greater good and connection between people and all living things. Honesty has always been key to Zach, and this helps him to decide what he wants in life. He manifests his own destiny and that force can't be reckoned with.
He Loves his Mom, Dad, Brother, and his cat, Falafel.
