@ZakaryWalters | Climbing Steep Learning Curves with Ed Sheeran’s Photographer Zakary Walters

The Darkroom Podcast

On this episode of The Darkroom Podcast we had the pleasure of speaking with Zakary Walters, Ed Sheeran’s full-time photographer. As a trained graphic designer, Zakary spent over 3.5 years in the field in both London and New York before picking up a camera for his friend Ed. Zakary talks through how his photography is not so different from his other artistic talents and how he handles the pressures of documenting the legendary life and concerts of Ed Sheeran. Having to adapt to a steep learning curve, Zak recalls the first time walking on stage in front of tens of thousands of people to capture Ed with his fans. We get into the dynamics of touring as a photographer, what it looks like to push out content as quickly as he does and what the future holds for him. Enjoy the episode!
