“The Creator”

The images he left are immortal. He will always be a legend.
Monte Zucker was one of our 2003 founding members.

We don’t call Monte Zucker “The Creator” because he's been around so long. We call him “The Creator” because his style never goes stale. Monte Zucker is to photography, what the Beatles were to music. Professional photographers all over the world try to replicate his style of photography, and when they do he has already created a new style that people want to duplicate. It's been said that Monte Zucker changed wedding photography as we know it today. He's also change the way we photograph couples and families. When it comes to posing people and lighting them, Monte is one of the all-time legendary masters.

Monte Zucker has achieved just about every photographic degree that exists including Portrait Photographer of the Year from the United Nations in 2002. Monte's images are simple, direct, and emotional. When you look at one of his portraits you immediately feel that you know the person.

As with any of the Best USA Photographers, we ask you to follow certain rules.

1. Do not copy their work. Most of it has been tagged and can be traced if it's used anywhere or downloaded.

2. Please do not contact the photographers and ask them questions that do not pertain to serious bids. Like: Do you date your models? Can I have her phone number? Where was that picture taken? etc.

3. If you are looking for a bidding war, these photographers are not going to be your lowest bidders, but they will be your BEST VALUE. In the advertising field there is an expression - One image (photo) is worth a million dollars. A great photograph in an ad campaign can make or break a company. Successful advertisers know that the photographer is their most critical decision.
