Andrew Zuckerman

Andrew Zuckerman (born 1977) is an American filmmaker and photographer working in still life and portrait photography. His subjects included politicians, humanitarians, artists, birds, and endangered species of animals. Using solid white backgrounds and short shutter speeds, he captures images with extreme sharpness and high level of detail.

Zuckerman received his BFA from the School of Visual Arts in 1999. He began his career as a commercial still life photographer, before releasing the book, ''Creature'', a portrait series of animals, in 2007. He has since published four additional volumes: ''Wisdom'' (2008), ''Bird'' (2009), ''Music'' (2010), and ''Flower'' (2012). ''Wisdom'' and ''Music'' were also realized as feature length, interview-format documentary films. In 2006, Zuckerman co-founded a company Late Night and Weekends, through which he released the acclaimed documentary, ''Still Bill'', about the life of Blues musician, Bill Withers, and created campaigns for brands including Puma and Gap.

He produced and directed his first short narrative film, ''High Falls'', starring Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard, in 2007. It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and received the award for best short narrative at the Woodstock Film Festival the same year. Writing for ''The New York Times'', David Carr called the project "a pretty film, and a pretty smart film."

His photographic and film work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions internationally.

Zuckerman's brand work for Apple, Inc. has spanned commercials, launch videos, and special projects, including the book, ''Designed by Apple'' ''in California''. Provided by Wikipedia
