Join Mia McCormick for a down to earth conversation with Zack Arias, an editorial and commercial photographer based in Atlanta. Over the course of an hour Zack and Mia touch on topics that range from getting started to developing a style, from the value of reinventing yourself to what can come from finding clarity, and so much more. The day comes for all photographers when photography becomes just a job, but you still need to show up and do the work. Zack’s insights into his own process can help you find new ways to re-connect to your passion for photography when you are in that rut, or to help you avoid falling into it entirely.
