About the Item
Syrian Boy
Beqaa valley, 2015
Whitford’s emotional image serves as a spiritual twin to the SYRIAN GIRL piece in Humanity. Depicting another child at the Syrian refugee camp in the Beqaa Valley, this photograph argues for social justice and equality through the young boy’s innocent, doleful expression. The wooden barriers that surround him further the impact of the image’s thesis, not only specifying that the boy is separated from the viewer, but also that we are separated from him.
Archival Pigment Print on Archival Canson Platine Fibre Rag paper.
Signed and numbered by the artist.
Edition size: 25
16" x 20" Print
Please inquire about framing options.
BIO:
A gifted young street photographer, who just happens to be the son of Aerosmith’s rhythm guitarist, Brad Whitford, is set loose with the band. The result is a take on rock photography that blows through all the commercial conventions of hype-driven money shots. ~Michael Weinstein, New City Art

His early work was purely freelance, focusing mainly on commissions and events. Eventually, he made his way into the music business where his work caught the attention of the member’s of Aerosmith and their management. Zack was reintroduced to the road-life but now as the Aerosmith’s official photographer.
Artist Statement:
"When I was much younger, and training to be a stage actor, my teacher said something once that has always stuck with me. He said:
'As actors, you are investigators of humanity.'
I found that to be quite profound and something that rang true with me. Since, I've began my life as a photographer, photographing friends & complete strangers, the parallels between the art of acting and documentary photography have been obvious as both are about being completely in the moment.
Whether I am making a portrait of a monk in Bhutan or of an American rock star on the side streets of Istanbul, the one absolute parallel in what I am trying to convey to the viewer is the simple humanity found in one's eyes, body language or facial expression. That unspoken sense of 'Here we are - all in it together.

Recently, his work can be seen in Rolling Stone, Esquire, The Red Bulletin, New City Art & The Hollywood Reporter.
