“Photography can be so much fun! In today’s media driven world, photography can often set unrealistic standards of beauty for everyday people to live up to. The need to achieve perfection is heavily marketed making women who don’t have a team of makeup and Photoshop experts feeling inadequate or timid about doing a photo shoot. If you’re interested in doing a shoot, you must keep in mind that everyone is beautiful in their own way. Allow me the opportunity to help capture your unique beauty through a photograph. My objective is for you to have a wonderful and fun experience. You will be treated with the respect, courtesy and appreciation you deserve. When I photograph you, you will have my complete attention, expertise and focus on you. My hope is to offer you a relaxed and professional environment that will help encourage and bring out the beauty within and let you know that “You are seen”. My goal is not only for you to have fun and feel excited about your pictures but for you to also achieve a true appreciation of yourself through photography. My photo shoots give you an opportunity to actually work with a team of professional make up artists and stylists in addition to the proven way I can photograph you. Give yourself the gift of your own unique beauty.” ~ Jim Zink
Testimonials:
“I feel the best photo shoots involve creative intimacy between the photographer and subject. That intimacy allows the photographer to uncover the inward person, the soul and spirit of the subject. Creative intimacy may be defined as the magic moment when the fear, the walls and barriers all fall and true beauty is revealed. There is nothing more beautiful than confidence and self-acceptance. The best photographers know how to help a subject relax and reveal that unique inner beauty so others can see it.
Thank you for your friendship, Jim. I appreciate your unique artistic vision.” With kindest thoughts, Cat

“Jim Zink’s friendly yet professional outlook on photography has not only produced my best images and compositions but has also made the experience enjoyable and rewarding. Jim’s primary focus has been to satisfy my needs and desires while discretely prompting, inspiring and stimulating the best poses and looks out of me; resulting in incredible team photography. He goes further than the man behind the camera and helps individuals like myself to develop and grow making the subject feel confident and safe in any type of shoot.
As well as his fantastic persona Jim’s photographic skills exceed those of the many photographers I have ever worked with internationally. His understanding and respect for each individual element of a photograph has, and will continue to create an incomparable quality of photographs. From the subject itself to the lighting, Jim considers each component and how it can alter numerous results in the final image.
Jim himself and all his brilliant capabilities have made working with him the most amazing and gratifying photographic and personal experience in this industry. I look forward to continue shoots with Jim Zink and am eager to see the new images to come. Thank you Jim, truly a remarkable photographer.”
