Zach Gold has been working in the fashion and advertising photography world since he was selected in 1997 as one of the top 100 artists under 35 in New York City. In 2000, the late Peter Jennings presented Gold with the International Center of Photography's Young Photographer of the Year award, calling him "one of the leaders in creative image making."
In addition to his influential fashion and advertising photography, Gold was one of the first artists in the world to successfully blend the subtle complexities of both camera and computer to produce photorealistic digital art. Gold has exhibited and delivered lectures throughout the United States, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain, and Italy.
His distinguished style and innovative approaches to photography have attracted some of the biggest names in the creative industries, including David Bowie, Iggy Pop, and Willem Dafoe. Last year Gold was personally asked by 50 Cent to shoot the cover of his latest album. Some of his advertising and editorial clients include Nike, Mini Cooper, Sony PlayStation, Warner Brothers, and MTV. Gold graduated with honors from Parsons School of Design in 1995.
