Zachary Burns

Zachary Burns is a photographer who is based out of the small town of Carnation near Seattle, Washington. Born in 1991 he took up photography at a young age when he realized that he couldn't draw. While attending Bellevue College, Zachary was introduced to the darkroom and began to develop his interest in exploring the tendencies and limits of the medium. On transferring to Seattle University he was able to continue following this interest and received a printing sponsorship from the Photographic Center Northwest to expand and explore his project “Footprints of Water.” He received his Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in Photography from Seattle University in 2013. In his spare time Zachary is employed as a web developer.
