"One part love of photography, one part love of music, one part love of theater and theatrical lighting, one part hero worship, one part timing and 95 parts instinct." ~Neal Preston

Hi. My name is Kim Zahnow. This quote by legendary rock star photographer Neal Preston resonates with me. As a photographer and artist of over 20 years, my passion and talent is photographing creative portraiture, motion, theatrical lighting, fire, smoke, splashes, and people doing what they are passionate about.  My instinct is impeccable. I can capture exceptional candid moments as well as portraits that are unforgettable. Based just two hours from Chicago, in the one of the top 10 beach towns in America, Saugatuck/Douglas, Michigan. Living the best of both worlds, I am based where Chicago vacations! I have a state of the art studio located one mile from the lakeshore. I welcome travel opportunities and gigs worldwide. Concerts, editorials, and album covers, I am your photographer.  I photograph creative energy!
