The following video presents Zack Arias and the Fuji X Pro 1 Shoot Up the Streets of Atlanta:

Thursday Throwback: By Complex Magazine

If you ask 10 different photographers what makes a great photograph, you’lll surely wind up with 10 different answers. However, there are three constants: a subject, a photographer, and a camera. For our new series, Shots Fired, we wanted to put the hottest cameras in the hands of the best photographers and let them loose to shoot whatever subjects their hearts desired.

Zack Arias, an editorial and commercial photographer based in Atlanta describes his style as “simple, straightforward, bold, classic, true, and straight from camera.” His work has been featured in TIME, USA Today, and AFP. He’s also done some work for Sony Music, BMI, and Elektra. His resume is serious. You can head to his personal site to learn more.

Arias brings along the retro-styled Fujifilm X-Pro1, and takes us on a tour of his native ATL.
