THE WAY I SEE IT

Some moments deserve a second look.

I’m Chad Zellmer, a Denver photographer creating portraits, corporate images, concert photography and aerial photographs. These collections also share the places and moments I’ve photographed along the way.

From a farm in Butler, Missouri, to assignments in all 50 states and more than 60 countries, I’ve spent much of my life working with a camera. I’m based in Denver, and these are some of the photographs I’ve made along the way.

You can almost hear it.

I love live music, especially a good jam band. These are some of the moments I’ve caught from the stage to the back of the crowd.

The musicians, the crowd and the moments in between.

People. As they are.

An expression, a bit of light, a person being themselves.
