Date of Birth: Unknown but he's in his mid to late twenties.
Background: Zack Schnepf is a photographer from Portland, Oregon. The pictures he takes are landscape and of anything of the environment. Schnepf his whole life has been surrounded by mountains and the life that comes with it. From a young age his parents took him on trips from backpacking to rock climbing. His parents influenced his career decision greatly. His father is a well known poster artist and painter, mom is a painter, and print maker and brother is a designer at the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan. His parents taught him to appreciate the beauty in nature and to help preserve it for all to enjoy.
Events and Influences: Schnepf likes to go out and take pictures of places that are completely away from the cities and commotion. He is involved in an organization- website www.350.org. to keep these beautiful places alive and away from the city life. With his pictures he gets people to truly see how beautiful the environment is and gets them to think about how to preserve it. He encourages everyone to watch Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, the most important movie of our time in his opinion to raise awareness for the safety of the environment. These photographs are glimpses he's had of incredible beauty, he hopes they can help inspire and help raise awareness about conserving these amazing and shrinking wilderness areas.
What Makes Him Different: In my opinion, he is an amazing photographer and many others agree. What sets him aside from other photographers though is, he takes outstanding landscape photos and makes it aware to the world that we are harming our beautiful environment. He goes to places where the stress and city life don’t effect and captures the beauty in the world. He captures his emotion and sense of wonder when he takes the photo. He says, “Visiting these wild areas is a form of meditations for me, where I get to completely relax and appreciate the incredible beauty of nature” (Schnepf). Photography for him is all about catching emotion and the sense of wonder you have when you see such beauty or anything for the first time and turning it into a photograph that tells the story. He stays in the same spot all day until he can capture the perfect shot to tell the story. He hopes to pass on this love and knowledge of environment to his daughter.
