Welcome to Zach Dobson Photo! I'm a professional photographer & content creator. I produce photo stories along with educational & motivational videos.
Whether we're discussing all-time great photographers, looking behind the scenes at a photoshoot, or talking about creating photos containing depth and emotion, my focus is always on feeling excited by and engaged with photography.
So, what makes me an expert? I'm a professional documentary and commercial photographer of nearly 20 years. My clients include Fortune 100 companies, national newspapers & magazines, pro sports teams, travel & tourism bureaus, and more. I have a degree in journalism with a concentration in photography from Indiana University. I use my experience as a photojournalist to create documentary-style photography for my clients and my own artistic endeavors.
I love to talk photography with everyone, so please ask me any questions you have!
I went through the building as an engineering student and observed the mechanical rooms that are halfway up …an amazing architectural feat. Unbelievable that it’s gone
Dude, you need to get a new narrator. This guy with the lisp is killing me. No Adult has a lisp in 21st century USA. It’s just a fetish for this creep. You need to fire him and hire a real narrator that will do your videos proud. English isn’t even my native language and this guy is trying to make us think that speech therapy isn’t a thing in 21st USA when I got it in 90’s South America? Fire this man now
The Trade Center Towers were the worst looking buildings in the world . NO ONE loved them while they actually existed. Granted, when the light hit them just right they glinted in a way that was really cool from a distance, but that was only for a minute or two a day at best even when it did happen, which it usually didn't. Other than that, they were just ugly, featureless bricks and that was really the almost universally agreed upon opinion. I think my favorite description of them is that they looked like the boxes that the Empire State & Chrysler buildings came in.
Во время моего детства я увидел фото в рекламной брошюре Корейских телевизоров с панорамным видом на эти башни. С тех пор я стал фанатеть, восторг и восхищение на всю жизнь. Желание посетить их навсегда осталось несбыточной мечтой.
These photos are so nostalgic. I was born in NYC in 98 and never got to see the twin towers but I’m glad their beauty will forever be captured in photos
i am not american and i dont live in america, but many people in my country were very shocked and felt sad at that day. anyway, i love the 1983s photo with 2 couples and twin tower❤
As an American I thank the people in your country for having that empathy and caring about the towers, I wish our people could be like that to other countries. ❤
It’s still a NASA photo…. The capsule is docked to and therefore part of the International Space Station when the photo was taken…. It wasn’t a dragon capsule on its own. Also, even though Space-X owns the capsule, it is still part of a NASA mission which makes all photos public…. The only exception to that would be any onboard capsule only cameras that are meant to monitor sensitive or proprietary data or systems for Space-X. These would not have to be (and shouldn’t be) publicly accessible…..
It’s INSANE to see the degradation that surrounded them through some of years they’ve been up when you think of the New York of today. Some of these pictures look like a post apocalyptic world.
Try large format! My hot take is that the "film slows me down" argument is only truly valid when shooting large format. The shooting experience is so fundamentally different from all other (commonly used) types of cameras, that it almost feels like a different discipline altogether. So if your goal is to broaden your practice and shift (and/or tilt, haha) your perspective on the medium, large format is the best way to achieve that imo. Plus, if you can get those sponsors on board again, you can experiment without having to deal with the eye-watering costs associated with large format 😉 Been loving your stuff on instagram for a while! These extended videos on youtube are just as good. Much love from Berlin.
You're absolutely right... I started shooting pro in 1985... I shot for newspapers... meaning, shoot something... run home, process the film, dry the film, make a contact sheet... pick pictures and then make prints... and all this in your wet darkroom that is set up and ready to go all the time... when digital happened, I decided to keep shooting film... and do digital as the industry demanded... good times.
This is part of a longer video I just published on my channel about my experience as a professional photographer using film for the first time in 20 years.
Most New Yorkers hated the twin towers. They were considered ugly and ruined the skyline . "Still in the box they came in" was a common phrase. After 9/11 people seemed to changed their opinions out of respect
I’m not trying to say anything unionist here, I don’t give a f*** about that. But saying the British army was ‘occupying’ N Ireland is factually wrong, because it is legally British territory, an occupying force means a foreign army.
I remember I never even seen the base as I would pass around it going to battery park and just always saying to myself, "I will eventually go to see them because I have time." (Late 2000)... and then they were gone. I realize now never say you will get to something eventually. Anything can be gone in the blink of an eye, even the things you think are forever.
Seeing the man standing on the antenna of the World Trade Center made me dizzy. If someone had stood me on the antenna of the World Trade Center, I swear i would have fainted and fallen hundreds of feet to the ground.😢
Living in the Bronx, I used to see these towers every single day from my window. I especially loved looking at them at night, with the white and red lights from the communication tower blinking from the distance. That morning, it was there. I was in the third grade, ready to start my do-now when the impact happened.. Afterwards, not being able to see it at my window anymore was very surreal and depressing. Something about those towers rly gave the city the vibe it was known for.
They were unparalleled 😢 though they were parallel. They should have rebuilt them 2x as high. The current ‘freedumb tower’ is a travesty - with the owner too cheap to build it as it was designed with a garden spire. Meh
