  Skooter11 says:

  "I believe, as a fellow photographer and artist, that it is every artist's goal to make the viewer feel moved and experience some sort of emotion. My teacher once said, "A unique and incomparable piece of art will either comfort the afflicted, or afflict the comforted." And I know for a fact, that every single time I view Zack's photography I am either afflicted or comforted. Most of the time, I have to remind myself to breath.
  
  Also, I know Zack to be an amazing person, which to me is more important than any talent anyone could ever acquire. I know this through his work, descriptions and the few flickr mails we have shared. His love for Christ is inspirational. I believe that Zack is going to travel far with his talent. I can't wait to see what he does next."

  "Zack's photographs are incredible; unreal. Every single one tells a story: they are original, meaningful creative, and perfectly executed. I don't know any other photographers who have quite such control over light, use it in such creative ways, and who seem to have ideas flowing from them constantly. Such a talent! =)"

  "Zack, I have never seen any photography quite like yours. Your pictures are so unique and emotional and most importantly...stunning. Really, everytime I look at your stream I find myself saying, "How on earth did he do that!!" I think I've mentioned this before, but in real life I basically faint when I see blood, but whenever I look at your pictures that have your homemade fake blood in them, I'm always fascinated by it and it's like I cant stop looking at it. Its crazy.
  Basically, you are amazing at what you do so never ever stop taking pictures."

  "Ummm where should I began?? Zack is extremely creative and his photos are one of a kind. He continues to inspire me to become a better photographer. All of his photos are unique and well thought out. Every time he uploads something, I am amazed. His ideas are endless, and he won't disappoint. So add him as a contact if you haven't!! :)"

  Colton Witt Photography says:

  "Its very hard for me to write Zack a testimonial. Thats because there really isn't words that can describe his photography. Either that or way to many good words! Your photography is the most inspiring work ive ever seen. You are my favorite photographer on flickr, and by far my favorite photographer ive ever seen! The emotion and feel you can accomplish in each photo is amazing. You can create any type of portrait, and any emotion in them. (the blood ones are some of my most favorites.) You are also really good at teaching photography in your blogs and answering questions also. ( i would pay for lessons haha). As i said before your photos are insperational. You inspired me to try self portraiture, and portraiture in general, and taking these are the most fun i've had! I even have been trying blood photos because of you too, because of how much emotion you can put in a photo by using blood. From your 1st to your 649th photo (which is all you have right now for future readers of this) not one of them has been average or common, they are always new and creative and amazing! You must have a big imagination to be able to think of all these brilliant ideas for photography!
  Keep up he amazing work, even though thats a for sure thing.
  Cant wait to see more,
  cant wait to bea ble to buy some of your photos!
  Colton."

  "Zack is very productive, which is shown by his fully completed 365 project. He is very determined and constantly works to evolve as an artist. The rate at which he comes up with his ideas and is able to make them into pictures amazes me and I wish I could be as efficient. He inspires me to work harder with the pictures that I take. He strongly sticks to his ideas, concepts, and artistic vision and doesn't allow anyone to change the way he views things. It really amazed me when he first commented on one of my images and added me as a contact. Overall, Zack Ahern has many attributes of an artist and photographer that I look up to."

  "I think you are incredible, and it seems like flickr does too.
  Technical strobist skill to simply using natural light, you master both, infact you master everything photography throws at you. I realise that I haven't commented on all of your photos but please know I have looked through all of your stream all, thirty six pages, and I love it more than words. I couldn't pick a favourite because they are all fabulous. If I was 1/100th as good as you I would be so happy. You are an incredible photographer. Never give up."

  "Wow zack. You are my all time favorite photographer. I'm not even going to lie haha. Your photos always have some kind of meaning to them and thats what make them so special.. I love how you always have the most amazing ideas, lights, and bokeh. You are my inspiration. I just wanted you to know that. Everyday, I look forward to seeing a new photo from you. I really wonder sometime how you are so good. Gah i don't think theres enough words in the world to describe how talented and amazing you are! I guess your photos can do the talking hahaha.
  
  I hope i can get to be as skilllled as you are. Keep doing such an amazing work. :)"

  Until_you says:

  "So I still remember the first picture i saw of Zack's when i stumbled onto his stream this one I never saw anything like it, it was beautiful,meaningful,and inspiring, i didnt think he could get any better. Well he did, his photos mean something. He is odviously talented but he never shows in the least that he will stop learning, he pushes himself more then anyone ive seen on here,and never stays confortable, he shares his struggles but never forgets to learn from them. I love what his work stands for and how it defines him and I should have written this a long time ago. He will stay as one of my favorite streams.He's an artist."

  your photos are brilliant. Brilliant isn't even the right word to use. i don't know what is. i always love coming to look at your photos, because you put so much time into them, and you must work hard getting them. I admire your passion for photography, and you have a great talent, that you use very well. Your photos always have the perfect light, the perfect pose, and perfect everything. :) Never stop taking pictures, ever."

  "Finally I am getting in gear and writing this testimonial. Its hard to know what to say when I'm looking at your stream. Everything is just so interesting and so well thought out that to describe it is almost impossible. You've got a great eye for photography and a lot of creativity to add a little something to your photos that really you cant find anywhere else. I am not sure how you do it, but thats part of the mystery behind your photos. I hope to see you posting as often as you do, your work is inspirational and has just the right amount of emotion."

  "Who am I to write about Zack? When I first viewed his work, I assumed he was one of the many untouchable, amazing photographers on flickr. But after a few exchanged comments, I quickly realized he has an extraordinary amount of genuine kindness, and, as we all know, talent. He has both inspired me, and challenged me in my 365 project, keeping me from quitting on more than one occasion. Zach is not only versatile in many styles, but he shines just as brilliantly in the light, as he does in the dark."

  "So, what can i say about him that hasn't already been said?
  nothing probably, but i can always try, right?
  He is simply awesome.
  The way he portrays situations in his daily portraits, the way he handles the light, the views and colors he combines in his pictures are simply incredible.
  I really love your work Zach!
  Keep it up! :D

  He is incredible, which anyone who has taken a minute to browse his work realizes. But the beautiful thing that sets Zack apart is how touching and memorable each of his photos are. His words make my heart cry and his photos inspire me to find more beauty in life. He is a wonderful photographer who grows exponentially with every click of the shutter."

  GraceAdams says:

  "After following Zack's photostream for a while now, I figure it's about time to write one of these.
  His artistic style is always intriguing and unique. The warmth that is captured in many of his photos is simply a Zack thing, something no one else I've seen has been able to accomplish in quite the same way. It is obvious that he puts thought and care into his work; not only this but it is evident through his photos and words that he is a man of great character. It is truly a pleasure to see each new work of his and I am looking forward to see which direction his art will go from here."

  My Imaginary World says:

  "I see a true artistic photographer who is still settling into his own skin. Looking back through the beginning of his stream, you see someone who was struggling to find himself, to find his place amongst other photographers. Now, he has a style all his own that inspires others.
  
  I am quite amazed by Zack's photographic ability because not only can he emit raw emotion in it's truest form, but he has grown tremendously in a short amount of time. His passion in God, in life, and the ones who love him shows through his work. To feel one's charisma through moments frozen in time is quite a rare, beautiful thing.
  
  I always look forward to each and every upload to see his light shine...and it shines brightly."

  "Zack is one of the most talented, insipiring people here on flickr. He has yet to fail me with his beautiful black and whites, and colorful sunset photos. Every single upload blows me away, and leaves me anxious for the next day's photo. The lighting, composition and everything is just perfect in every single photo. If you haven't looked at his stream yet, you should go look nowww!! It's really amazing."

  Steven Sites says:

  "at first glance, zack's pictures are nothing short of phenomenal. gorgeous lighting that few people can achieve, strong composition, and consistency, which many people lack. anyone could scan through his photostream and see countless shots of more or less perfection.
  
  but when you slow down and make the connection with the photo that it deserves, and read the entries zack puts along with them, you realize there is a lot more at work here than an impressive photographer; there is an impressive human being. this is not a flickr drone you will never hear from. there is this overwhelming emotion in every frame, and his dedication is obvious every day with his 365. photography is a passion for zack and it's refreshing to see his photos doing the talking for him.
  
  speaking of impressive human being, he hasn't told me to shut up while i'm whining until the wee hours of the morning. that's nice too =]"

  "It's about time I wrote one of these for my man, Zack. :) He most definitely deserves it!
  Ok, umm, to put it simply, I love this boy. Besides being the most romantic, sweetest guy I have probably ever met, Zack is absolutely bursting with talent. The way he uses the light in his pictures, and how it interacts with darkness absolutely blows my mind every time. He is incredible, and will definitely go far in the photographic world.
  If you have not added him as a contact, you are pretty much the most ridiculously stupid person alive, because Zack is the greatest contact a person could ever have. True story.
  Aaanyways, my friend and fiance Zack is incredible, and that's all there is to say. Be nice to him please. :) Because...if you aren't, I may have to track you down and do some damage.
  Just saying..."

He's always willing to share what information he has about photography, and is always taking time out of his day to comment our photo streams. Zack Ahern, is pretty cool. Keep up the good work man, your good at what you do."
