with SF Dramatic Art Photographer:
Pascal Shirley
Pascal Shirley was shooting child actors who could show lots of emotions and Zack was 9 and loved the challenge. Pascal had a part in Zack's serious interest in photography - he was shooting with 4x4 negatives.
“Zack's great at coming up with lots of different emotions.
I was looking for range... and he had lots of ideas - he made it easy.”

Zackariah knew what he loved to do
and started acting at 4 years old.
Adding Martial Arts soon after -
he wanted to do action/comedy films
This is the Headshot for Zack at 6 -
he got into his suit & he set up the shot.
He painted this background when he was a kid. Other early paintings were recognized as beyond his years: Warrior Spirit (2001 Acrylic at age 4) & Heart Work (2002 Acrylic at Age 5). Adults thought they were known artists because they showed his eye for composition - at such a young age.
Later, this showed up in his award winning photography.
