Loved the photo and yes it did evoke the idea that everything can come crashing down. Love the way you think.

YES! HE'S BACK! I missed this. keep it up.

Please don't leave again, Zack. Thank you for your amazing video and Skillshare!

Great video. Liked how you shared the though process behind the shot.

Nice to know how you work!!! thanks for sharing your experience and your personal work !!! like that!!

That’s some good portrait! Like your work, thanks for sharing

I love the photo and the story. Plus you are so darn engaging -- like a friend I've known forever.

Thanks Zack!

Great idea and picture.

Great to see you back ❤️

Some of these pictures remind me of Gregory Crewdsons work. Awesome as always, Zach

Nice. More of this. 👍🏻

I love these deconstruction of a photo videos. They are so inspirational. Joe Mcnally had a series like this a while ago (he may still...admittedly, I haven't watched him or his stuff in years.) and it was a great way to get ideas about the very things you talk about.... lighting, props, posing, and it really is a wealth of information. Thank you Zack.

Not only are you an amazing photographer, but storyteller, and teacher. Love your videos so far. I had never heard of you before seeing your x100v video on your channel. Love your work!

Cool! Love the image. And the proces you're showing. Just stumbled on your channel today and I'm exploring some more video's. The ones I stumbled on were Lighting White Seamless 1 & 2. Great info there! Hope you'll continue with the channel. Thanks for all the info.

Dude,basically me and my friend learnt photography with your one light tutorial,years ago,just wanted to comment and thank you,we are inspired by you and appreciate it Be good and blessed man,keep it going 🌺🙏

Great job :) Keep up the good work!

Always an inspiration to me to hear about your sessions. There is so much noise out there about having the latest stuff and you just don't need it to be creative.

Great photo and insight into the thought process behind it. Thanks for sharing 📷👍

love this

Thanks Zack!! This was very helpful. Greets from Holland!

Thanks Zack, really enjoy watching your work flow and thought process.

T.J is a very patient man! Just photograph the people in your life. Awesome. Awesome video again man. How do you like Capture one man?

loved it :-) cool to see a project evolve!

Love it, thank you!!

Great video, Zack! Thank you for your open and authentic videos and your emphasis on art over gear.

The story and thought process your photos are always interesting. It tells me how much goes into a picture. Thank you.

I was drawn to this photo when I first saw it on your website. I love hearing the thought process behind an image. And capturing an image is a process. This makes me miss the time I spent setting up lights to capture an image. I don't do it as often as I used to simply because of chronic knee pain.

This video is very fun and interesting, thanks for sharing!

LOVE the shot.

Loved that image first time I saw it back then. Now, listening to your metaphorical, personal perspective behind that scene, I super-love that image

Great shot, loved how you talked us through the shot 👌

Ok that's cool

You're amazing

" Thanks MRS ARIAS for letting Zack come out and play "....lol thanks dude

"I know it's all behind me... the smoke is filling the room...." Maaann... I know that feeling... though mine is more like an 800 pound mama bear that I can't outrun, and there isn't another guy to kneecap so the bear gets him instead.

I'd love to see more of these BTS videos! I found this one really inspiring. I never do portrait stuff but I've spent the afternoon searching for cheap lights so I can give it a go

This was great! Never thought about using the dropper to click on an area other than to produce a "correct" white balance.

Thank you

Photo History: Reminds me of the Phillipe Halsman print, doing a Salvador Dali theme. Bottom-line: rocks.

I want to move to Capture One . I have always loved this image.

Great portrait, I like the concept and the editing you've done. I also think that it was good to leave out the frame from the floor, it was taking too much attention away from the chairs, in my opinion.

Love the video. Thank you for taking me with you in your process. Love the result! Started to follow you on KZfaq and Instagram immediately! But.. I don't see the photo on your insta. Why did you choose to not upload this peace of art?

Thanks for the walk-through and the symbolism. Many of my chairs are made from mesquite, so they are super-heavy and you can barely lift them. I had always seen your chairs as flying, in this photo, rather than tied together on the verge of collapse! Maybe like a Lois Greenfield photo? Anyone else seeing video/audio sync issues with this? Zack, did you change mikes again?

Loved it Zack. Now that all the bullshit is over, (on the 20th Jan) I hope you can get back to the vids 😉👍

Hi Zack. Another interesting video. Thanks. One thing: I suggest you grab C1 v20 (v13 really). I'll bet you would have used the new Black slider on this image. :-) Stay safe.

You should've gotten the Surface Pro...lol Love mine!

Brilliant shot. Two things...did you have a fill light in the back of the room? And second, you really need to update your version of C1, the new high dynamic settings are killers! :)

Hey, Zack. Excellent problem solving! You're a true master. Also, what's the camera store that you mentioned. I'd love to pay them a visit.

1/13 s.... what kind of wizardry is that?? :D nice photo, thanks for insight :)

Wait a second

I'd have had to go black and white on this one I think.

The last couple of minutes have the audio is out of sync a bit. I think you have had that problem before with your settings. Not sure what that is, but wanted to let you know. Or maybe it is just my connection.

where are you now? we miss you and your knowledge!

Love it! Just clone out the turd on the rug near the chair's leg, just left of the subject. :-}

Like the smoke hmm Capture 1 ok bro

Why did you remove the frame from the floor….it could be integral to the scene especially where he ended up gazing, may be a frame of someone he loved and lost. (no picture in it) . your instinct was right on the money…follow the first one hits you.

Are you O.K?
