Storytelling from the Heart!

First and foremost I am a visual storyteller.  I love storytelling. I love meeting new people and learning about their story.  Digital storytelling is the way to your audience's heart.  In an age where we are all so disconnected, we must learn to reconnect with our audience, not just bombard them with social media posts. We can do that through storytelling.  Let's find a creative way to cut out the noise and turn the focus to your story and what you bring to your audience. I pride myself on being a chameleon and adapting seamlessly to any shoot type, situation, environment, or creative challenge. I've traveled the world telling stories and have overcome the odds of production in all reaches of the globe.

Michael Cogdill-32 time Emmy winner,Founder Heartstrong Media

Chad Zellmer shoots with a genius eye, but his talents reach beyond the optics of photography. Chad shoots with his ears and heart trained to the humanity before him and his lens. He looks for more than the shot. Chad finds THE moment, captures it, and captivates audience with how he edits it into the broader narrative. Chad and I worked many a story together, with the understanding that I, as the writer, create a narrative UNDER the images. When television and film are done truly well, the words never override the images. Great photographers shoot and edit with daring. The daring to trust that the moment will come. To trust the power of silence, and never underestimate the strength of most modest piece of sound. Chad is a caring photojournalist who understands great storytelling massages the eye, but lives in the heart. He is so very rare in his talent for letting a story find its way there. I recommend him with every ounce of my reputation, and I do so with gratitude!!
