Made with Squarespace
The son of a fashion designer and a sculptor, he got his start assisting his parents on photo shoots for their own projects. That quickly led to commissions from their friends and before he graduated from high school he was already steadily in demand in Los Angeles’ vibrant creative community.
A move to New York for film school led to contacts in the music and advertising worlds. Upon graduating, his growing client base allowed him to set up his own studio focused on aesthetically driven visual storytelling.
Zion has been honored to work with top international brands and magazines, as well as leading figures in the art community. He is always excited when projects allow him to meet new people and travel to new places.
