Zak Bance

Zak Bance, born in Northern Italy, is an international photographer specializing in fashion and beauty, with six years of experience.His career began thanks to the significant influence of cinematographer Marco Caputo from MarcoCaputoFilms, with whom he worked twice (in 2019 and 2022). Still within the wedding industry, in 2022 he worked also as a second shooter for Ilenia Caputo. In the fashion world, Zak honed his skills by studying the great masters and assisting various photographers and videographers, including Stephan Glathe for Gübelin and Alvaro Gracia for Vogue. Today, after years of dedication, self-study, and personal financial investment, he has become a full-time professional photographer. In his commercial work, Zak provides high-quality imagery for brands, companies, and creatives, covering a wide range of needs such as product photography, artistic still life, sports photography, corporate portraits, advertising campaigns, and event coverage in unique or challenging environments. His approach blends technical precision with a strong sense of storytelling, ensuring that every project reflects both the client’s vision and his own distinctive style. When it comes to his editorial projects, Zak often includes elements inspired by his own life. Past experiences, intense emotions, and moments that shaped his way of seeing the world become the starting point for his concepts. His work is often inspired by the desire for total freedom, by deep and sometimes overwhelming forms of affection, and by the beauty found in shapes, spaces, and atmospheres. These inspirations guide him in creating images that are emotionally powerful, visually refined, and always infused with a sense of personal truth. Zak is a native Italian speaker and is fluent in English and French. Outside of photography, he dedicates time to physical activities that challenge the body and mind, such as acrobatic jumps and spontaneous hiking adventures, always seeking new perspectives both in life and through the lens.
