Behind The Lens
Zachary Bascom
He grew up in Bend began taking photos on film in high school and college, first diving into portraits and then discovering his passion for architecture. In 2008 he got his BA in Cinema and Media Communications and switched to digital. Now, almost a decade after jumping into the architectural world, Zachary is showcasing multi-million dollar homes, shooting for magazine layouts, flying drones, getting picky about angles, focal length and light, and loving every minute of it.
