When asked to provide some feedback concerning their shoot, or what information they might offer to others thinking about working with me, here are some of the things people had to say:
"Working with Zero was a fantastic experience. He has a great sense of humor and is totally relaxed. I felt totally comfortable working with him and he makes looking good in front of the camera much easier! He has a unique style and I love the shots I've gotten from his shoots. He never gets tired and has a real passion for photography! I would refer any model to him anytime." - Eleni
"I had an exceptional time working with you. The pictures were great. Everyone I know, loves them. I personally didn't think I could look that good. You are very professional and the humor just made it that much more enjoyable. I was nervous at first, since I have worked with a lot of photographers that had their own agenda, and their own thoughts as far as the limit to where they were willing to shoot, but you had a place picked out, and let me choose the ideas as to what I wanted to do. You gave me just the right amount of coaching in my poses, and let me kind of do my own thing. I was impressed to see that you had put just as much energy into my shoot, before hand, as I did in preparing for if. I think that that was a great separating factor, when compared to other photographers. I look forward to working with you again in the near future and plan to bring some of my other models to your door step. Thanks again for the wonderful shots and professional experience." - Maliki
"Being relatively new to modeling, Zero helped me capture some of the best images in my portfolio. He is extremely professional and has a warm friendly attitude. I've shot with him twice now, and wouldn't hesitate to shoot with him again. We were able to create some really good photos together to really diversify my portfolio. He is great to work with, has awesome equipment and graphic design capabilities.
He's headed for bigger and better things so you should book with him now while he's affordable!" - Crissa
"Zero is one of the nicest photographers I have ever worked with. He is very patient, hard working, helpful and overall a good person. I want to stress the fact that I felt extremely comfortable at all times during the photoshoot. In addition I am very happy with my pictures and I would recommend him to any model who is looking to build or expand his/her portfolio." - Lona
"My shoot with Zero was extremely fun! From the moment that I met him I felt very comfortable - not only with him as a person, but also with his shooting style. You can tell that he is a photographer that loves what he does. He was very patient, kind, and open to experimenting with different ideas. I would highly recommend him to anyone. And he put up with my goofball personality, which is always a plus! Great photographer!!" - Taryn
"Zero Dean is an EXCELLENT photographer. Aside from being incredibly talented and creative, he is a lot of fun to work with. His personality is AWESOME!!! When you are shooting with Zero, his energy is phenomenal. Really gets you moving. But, most importantly he is a complete professional. I look forward to working with him again." - Caroline Victoria
"The images speak for themselves! One of the most professional photographers I've worked with! Not only great as a photographer but really nice as a person and easy to work with, makes you feel comfortable on the set which is so important! And the turnaround time was as agreed- very precise which tells about the seriousness and professionalism of the photographer. It's been such an amazing experience and I'd recommend Zero without a second thought to anybody who's looking for great images and professional approach in everything." - Oksana
"Zero Dean is a great photographer with natural talent. Not only is he professional, but his outgoing personality would help anyone feel comfortable. He will shoot until you feel good about the session. As a relatively new model, he helped me to become more confident and relaxed throughout the shoot. Zero is very creative and imaginative, and I am grateful for the opportunity to work with him." - Erin K Sullivan
"I recommend Zero to anyone looking for exceptional pictures! From the beginning of the shoot he put everyone at ease with his laid back personality. The first impression of him was very professional and knowledgeable. He had many magazine poses to choose from to put the first time model at ease. The way he easily explained the angles and lighting made me think I could even be a model :) It was a pleasure to work with Zero. I hope there are many more shoots to come because the pictures turned out fantastic." - Carolyn Berry [Makeup Artist]
"I've worked with Zero several times, and he is one of the best photographers around. He is professional, very creative, and a lot of fun. You will not be disappointed!" - Grace
"I previously worked with Zero Dean while he was in Las Vegas. He is very fun, professional, outgoing, hard working and easy to work with!! I look forward in the future to working together again. I highly recommend his services!!!!" - Leslie
"I have shot with Zero twice now and each time was a very exciting and fun experience. He is very professional and makes you feel very comfortable. I highly recommend models looking for great photos to check him out." - Michelle
"I had a shot with ZERO once. I could only highly recommend him for each model. You'll have really professional pictures and excellent work with him. I had so good and fun experience. He is so competitive and professional Photographer! Outstanding work!" - Ericia
"I have worked with numerous photographers from all over New England, and Zero is by FAR the best, his work is so amazing because he has a way of bringing out each persons individual personality in their photographs.
Before working with Zero a lot of my pictures I noticed seemed so blah, and not really me, but after looking over Zero's photos, I can see a lot of my fun loving attitude shining through.
He has a great way of making you feel comfortable right off the bat, I didn't even get time to be shy, he immediately made me laugh. One thing I really enjoyed was that he was open to anything, he even told me I could bring my boyfriend...and then when that didn't work and my boyfriend turned into a real grump and left Zero gave me some great advice... "They say, never bring your boyfriend to a photoshoot..." He was so right!
I loved how Zero not only thought about himself, but what I wanted and what I thought would look good; not many photographers take the models point of view into their work. He has a way of making you look and feel beautiful throughout the shoot, and is very professional.
All and all Zero is a great guy with a knack for taking gorgeous photos, and capturing a life within each picture that I never knew was possible, I really hope I get the chance to work with him again, and I give my recommendation to any model that really wants to stand out. Work with Zero he's an awesome guy and you will LOVE your photos. Thanks sooo much Zero!" - Erin Good
"When working with a photographer, you must relax. It is the #1 rule if it is going to be a good shoot or not. Zero allows you to do just that. He just pulls the best out of you. If you are ever in doubt about being picture friendly, Zero will fix that thought in one session. His pictures speak for themselves. Zero has the eye for detail. That is what caught my eye of his work. Photography at its best. He made the shoot very professional and fun, which is important in a photo shoot.
I walked away from one of his photo shoots feeling more confident about myself than before I went to him. It is very exciting to have a feeling like that before even seeing the results.
Zero will not shoot anything that you are not comfortable in doing. And he will not put you in any danger or possible injury at any means at any shoot. The risk is not worth a picture you may not see... He is there for you!!!! He is there to catch a part of you that no one else can. That's what part of being a good photographer is. He's excellent.
If you made it this far to find Zero Dean. You are lucky, like I was, because their are few very good photographers out there, like a needle in a hay stack. You happen to fall upon one of that few.
Zero is always open to new ideas (yours) before the shoot takes place. He taught us to carry a favorite magazine of poses that you may want to use. Not many photographers do that. He carries one with him for you if you need it. ( GREAT IDEA ZERO ). He is a teacher and mentor if you need one or are still learning like I am always doing.
I am more confident than ever to become a very successful model in my years ahead. And I will thank all my great photographers (Zero as being one) in making me what I am and will be..." :} - April
