Meet the
Photographer
Hello! I'm Christina Zimmerman, the photographer and creative director behind Z Photography. I’m 29 years old and based in Los Angeles. With over 13 years of experience, I’m passionate about using my craft to elevate others, as well as using my unique artistic perspective to inspire a better world. I specialize in portrait photography and fashion editorials but offer a variety of photography services, as well as a curated selection of stunning nature and landscape prints through my online store.
Photography, for me, is about more than just capturing an image; it’s about creating an experience. I believe every person has their own unique beauty and story, and my mission is to help you see and feel that through my lens. Whether you're looking to elevate your personal brand, grow your business, or simply experience the magic of a photoshoot, I’m here to support you and help make the process easy and enjoyable. Being in front of the camera can feel vulnerable and intimidating, but my goal is to make you feel comfortable, confident, and truly connected with your own presence and potential.
My artistic perspective and approach to photography is deeply influenced by my background in dance. Dance was my first passion and it taught me so much about dynamic storytelling and human expression, as well as how to use lines, light, space, and time to create compelling imagery. In 2020, I officially launched my business, Z Photography, and was able to get my work published over 100 times in national and international fashion magazines. I also turned towards dance photography so I could continue integrating my passion for dance into my creative direction. It's incredibly meaningful for me to be able to use my unique background to anticipate and capture these moments so they can look back at their photos with pride and be reminded of their own resilience, power, and artistry.
I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to capture meaningful moments that allow people to express themselves freely and authentically. Creating a safe and supportive space for self-expression is something I truly value, and I’m honored by the trust and bravery my clients bring to the process.
