ZACH MASON
A visionary explorer on a mission of greater existence.
Photographer, content producer, teacher, tour guide, holistic wellness facilitator, travel consultant, and environmentalist exploring the nature of our soul. The camera is one of the many tools I use to uncover and nurture our connection with others, ourselves, and our planet.
As a photographer, I am very lucky to have assisted conservation organizations express their mission around the world. I have represented various organizations like National Geographic, Patagonia, The Nature Conservancy, Marine Megafauna Foundation, South Africa National Parks, Projects Abroad and Jackson Hole Conservation Alliance. I've worked alongside scientists, farmers, fishermen, and families in Indonesia, Argentina, Mozambique, Sri Lanka, Chile, and Peru that have trusted me with capturing their story.
As a travel consultant on the in-flight team of the largest airline in the world, I help guests travel with peace of mind and a deeper connection to adventure. I have taught on Royal Caribbean cruises, led photography tours through Jamaica and Haiti, guided guests across America with Intrepid Travel, and taught as an ESL teacher abroad.
My bachelor's degree in marketing has led me to assist fashion photo shoots at Milk Studios in New York, create award-winning advertisements for Petco and Asics while employed at Vitro Agency, and at Vail Resorts and Aspen Snowmass. I've produced product photography for Colorado-based energy drink Yerba Cha, helped launch a new website for outdoor Kessler Sign Company, and produced architectural portfolios for Pro Exterior, 614 Exteriors and Plum Guide. I've produced numerous portrait, engagement, wedding, and pregnancy photo shoots to capture exceptional moments of humanity.
A masters degree in behavioral psychology has encouraged me to explore modalities such as mindfulness, body-based therapies like yoga, and somatic-based approaches to wellness that have been enhanced my understanding of our divine nature. I hold a 200-hour yoga teacher training certification from Shamana in Guatemala. Using this wisdom, I provide customized treatments to facilitate wellbeing and emotional strength.
My passion for creative expression is boundless. I've also guided guests in New York City at the Whitney Museum, performed at The Metropolitan Opera for three seasons and held photo exhibitions showcasing my visionary photo prints.
There is much more to the story and the story is continually being written with a new page beginning everyday. All around I find the joy and energy of life exuding through every organism, life's wondrous awe beaming in joyous celebration. My greatest ambition is to awaken the wonder that exists inside you, to bring awareness of our everyday magic, shining in plain sight.
