The idea

More than a headshot.
Less than a production.

For people who need more than a single polished portrait.

ZBS Private creates a considered visual library around you and your work. Directed when it helps. Observational when it doesn’t.

Portraits, people, places and detail, without turning the day into a production.

Shape the commission

A day, shaped
around you.

Every commission begins with the same question: what do you need the photographs to do?

01

Portraits

Considered images for profiles, press, speaking, launches and the moments when you need to be seen clearly.

02

At work

Meetings, preparation, collaboration and the details that make the work yours.

03

In motion

Arriving, leaving, travelling and everything between the set pieces.

04

Off duty

More relaxed photographs, still considered enough to publish.

05

Social

Vertical frames, details and informal imagery built for the way you actually communicate.

“Recognisably you.
Just seen with more care.”

The brief can be precise. The day shouldn’t feel rigid.
Direction when it helps. Space when it doesn’t.

How it works

Considered beforehand.
Easy on the day.

01

Brief

What’s happening, and what do the photographs need to do?

02

Shape

Locations, priorities, wardrobe and the rhythm of the day.

03

Shoot

Directed portraits and natural coverage, without over-producing either.

04

Deliver

A carefully edited private collection, ready to use.

PRIVATE

Discretion is part of the service, not an add-on.
