Zac graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in 2022 with a degree in Biomedical Engineering, and almost with a Photography minor… class scheduling ended up not working out so he stopped half-way :(

Photography started out as a small hobby in high school, where he'd take photos with friends on his dad's camera and learn to edit in iPhotos (which was obviously horrible) and then in a pirated version of Lightroom (which was a little better). As a college student, he became heavily involved in the cultural clubs and served as historian for a year, capturing photos at club events and using the paid version of Lightroom (student discount!!!). During his third year, friends from his clubs started to ask about senior grad photos, which allowed him to direct his focus to portraits. Since 2021, he developed his style through grad photos, which he would push to combine with creative ideas to create photos that are unique and personalized.
