Biography

Zac Frackelton was born in Cambridge in 1978 and grew up in Hampshire and Dorset. In 1998, Zac began a two year ND Photography course at Bournemouth and Poole College of Art and Design. A degree course at the London College of Printing as well as work experience at CETA, a professional photographic lab in Soho, London led to a chance meeting with fashion photographer, Zanna (Sonia Rykiel, Cacharel, Marks & Spencer, Liberty and Aveda) with whom a full time assistant position at the Ragged School ensued.

Following this, Zac honed his skills by assisting some of the world's finest image makers: Alisdair McLellan, Bryan Adams, Clarence K, Corrine Day, Jillian Edelstein, Kevin Westenberg, Michael Roberts, Mike Figgis, Tim Bret Day, as well as a full-time position assisting David Sims. In addition to high fashion editorial shoots, Zac has been fortunate enough to work with Michael Kenna who helped to develop a thorough understanding of light and composition.

Zac has recently shot for Next. He has also had worked published in a L’Oreal book, along with an exhibition. Editorial Contributions include main fashion for the Saturday Times Magazine. His longstanding relationship with The Times' Times2 (Wednesday’s main fashion) continues to gain praise. UK broadsheet/compact newspapers, and their supplements, are commissioning portraiture work.

Ongoing projects include photographing Grant Skehill, a young professional boxer from East London, The Central School of Ballet, stills for 'Blooded' the movie, music rehearsals/gigs and studies of industrial landscapes and cityscapes around the British Isles.
