Established in 2015 and comprised of two cousins, ZAC and ZAC combine their experience, strengths and passion for photography and the built environment to create striking and refined imagery. Aaron and Ryan studied together in the field of design in Edinburgh. After completing their degree, they launched a successful 3D visualization business. This focused on assisting interior designers and architects to illustrate their designs in a digital 3D form. By using virtual 3D cameras within their visualization software, they found a passion for real-life photography, with Ryan focusing on retro film style and Aaron loving all things digital. In 2015, Aaron and Ryan combined their individual strengths and began their own interior and architectural photography business. With a unique eye for detail, their work has been featured in The Andrew Martin International Interior Design Review book, described by The Times as ‘The Oscars for the interior design world’ and their success enabled them to open their second studio in London in 2016, where they could cater to the design capital of the UK.
SHOOTING STYLE
LIGHTING
The use of light in photography and how it interacts with the built environment is extremely important to ZAC and ZAC. Ryan and Aaron produce natural-looking imagery that best represents the true atmosphere of a space by using a flashlight sparsely and intelligently to maintain natural light to preserve its unique quality.
COMPOSITION
The placement and alignment of all accessories and objects in relation to one another and the surrounding environment are highly considered and manipulated. Colour is another significant factor which designers and stylists put due consideration and time into getting right. ZAC and ZAC appreciate this and use colour-checking tools whilst shooting onsite to ensure colour is accurately represented throughout all their imagery.
EQUIPMENT
Camera equipment is frequently upgraded to enable them to continue to create the highest quality of imagery. Currently Aaron and Ryan both use a full frame, 45.7 megapixel Nikon D850 cameras. They use a wide selection of specialist architectural lenses and tether remotely to iPads whilst conducting each shoot to aid with styling, image capture, and live image reviewing.
