The person behind the lens

Zakary Wenning · Director · Photographer
Zakary Wenning · Director · DP
I've spent 15 years making
the world stop and look.

From the ocean floors documented for National Geographic to the halls of the Smithsonian and the luxury properties of Hilton and Marriott — I bring the same obsessive attention to light, motion, and story to every frame. Based in the Washington DC area, serving Virginia, Maryland, and beyond.

Whether you need a documentary series, a brand film, real estate photography that moves listings, or portraits that actually feel like the person — I'm the call you make when the work has to be right.
