Zack Arias on Unsplash and the ‘race to the bottom’

06 Feb

When commercial photographer Zack Arias first heard about Unsplash—an image sharing website where photographers share high quality work 100% royalty free—his blood began to boil. It seems, for all intents and purposes, like the ‘race to the bottom’ that has plagued the photo industry for years has reached its nadir.

But instead of just getting angry and ranting about it online, Arias reached out to one of the cofounders, interviewed him about his creation, and came back today with a lengthy discussion titled “Thoughts on Unsplash.”

If you feel like the current opinions out there on Unsplash are too shallow and don’t deal with the real issues behind how Unsplash is used by designers, bloggers, and even major brands around the world, Arias’ video will be a breath of fresh air. He dives into every aspect of this “business model” for photographers, addressing:

  • The legal nightmare that comes up when using images of identifiable people on Unsplash, many (read: most) of which have NOT been model released.
  • The legal night mare that comes up when using images of identifiable brands and property on Unsplash, many (read: most) of which have NOT been released either.
  • Why getting hired to do commercial work after being “discovered” on Unsplash is the exception, not the rule. Most Unsplash users just take your photo and leave, they don’t look at your profile and consider hiring you.
  • Why he’s personally offended and annoyed by tech startups that “use other people’s money to gamble with an entire industry of people’s livelihood.”

The full video is 42 minutes long, and Arias hits all of the bases that are so often ignored when a discussion about Unsplash comes up. Check it out for yourself, especially if you’ve considered posting (or already do post) your work to Unsplash.

Zack Arias Flash Photography – 5 Min Portrait

17 Jan

froknowsphoto.com I got to spend the day with Zack Arias when he held his OneLight workshop at my studio/apartment. What an amazing teacher, photographer and person. This guy is all about teaching, doing better and passing on the knowledge. After a long 17 hour day I asked Zack if he would be able to do a 5 min portrait of me to post on the site for all of you guys to see. We started shooting right around 2 AM and Zack was able to hammer out some AMAZING portraits. I think you will be able to pick up some lighting nuggets from Zack during this video. You will see him go from one or two speedlights to using three. Zack is a master with speedlights, it was truly an honor to get to pose for a portrait with him. Please Subscribe www.youtube.com

Zack Arias and the Fuji X-Pro 1 Shoot Up the Streets of Atlanta

07 Dec

If you ask 10 different photographers what makes a great photograph, you’lll surely wind up with 10 different answers. However, there are three constants: a subject, a photographer, and a camera. For our new series, Shots Fired, we wanted to put the hottest cameras in the hands of the best photographers and let them loose to shoot whatever subjects their hearts desired. First up we have Zack Arias, an editorial and commercial photographer based in Atlanta who describes his style as “simple, straightforward, bold, classic, true, and straight from camera.” His work has been featured in TIME, USA Today, and AFP. He’s also done some work for Sony Music, BMI, and Elektra. His resume is serious. You can head to his personal site to learn more. For the first episode Arias brings along one our favorite cameras of the moment, the retro-styled, ICL Fuji X-Pro1, and takes us on a tour of his native ATL.
