About our speakers:

Through still photography and video, Zack Smith has been documenting the social, cultural and business landscape of Louisiana since 1997. Focusing his lens on New Orleans and Southeast Louisiana since 2000, his creative brand of visual storytelling has evolved into an agency platform helping his clients tell their story in the ever changing digital realm. Says Zack: “I’ve always stuck to my passion that my calling is to be a storyteller since the beginning, and whether it’s photographing Louisiana musicians, cultural happenings, or telling the story of someone’s business it’s all about the story. But in order to scale my business to meet these demands, I had to think less like a still photographer and more like a full service agency, growing with my continuing clients and offering an expanded list of services to new clients and organizations.” Learn more about Zack on his website: zacksmith.com
