Behind The Camera

Zephren is a New York City based film photographer & filmmaker. Specializing in Super 8 and 16mm motion picture film, his workflow is almost entirely analog.

His approach to storytelling starts with strong visuals. He is drawn to vibrant colors, natural lighting and being present in the moment. Shooting on film allows Zephren to work in a distraction free environment, where he can channel his creativity through the nostalgic medium that is motion picture film.

Zephren brings more than just a documentarian’s eye to a wedding day,
