Precision Meets Passion: Named Photographer of the Month by Flagship City Magazine

 
Award-winning Zdarko Photography photographer Chris Zdarko, named December 2025 Photographer of the Month by Flagship City Magazine.
 

It is an incredible honor to announce that I have been named the December 2025 Photographer of the Month by Flagship City Magazine. While seeing my work is a proud moment, this recognition is really a testament to the incredible Erie entrepreneurs and families who trust me to tell their stories.

The Technical Edge: Why "Editing by Numbers" Matters

Many people are surprised to learn that my journey into photography didn't start in an art gallery, but in the world of Information Technology. With over a decade of experience in IT, I’ve spent my career obsessed with data, structure, and precision.

As a colorblind photographer, I don’t just "eye" a photo and hope for the best. Instead, I’ve pioneered a specialized "editing by numbers" workflow. I rely on technical luminosity data and specific color codes to ensure every image is technically perfect and visually high-impact.

For my branding clients—from local organizations like Safe Journey to teams at RE/MAX and The Anna Shelter—this means their brand colors are consistent, their lighting is calculated, and their final images carry a professional weight that stands out in a crowded market.

Relationships Over Transactions

Whether I am shooting a strategic branding session for a new medical practice or capturing "Main Character Energy" for a local professional, my philosophy remains the same: Relationships over transactions.

I am proud to be a part of the Erie, PA business ecosystem. I am deeply invested in seeing our local community thrive through better visual storytelling.

Recognition from Flagship City is a milestone, but the real reward is seeing a local business owner use my technical imagery to scale their reach. If you are ready for a photography experience rooted in technical precision and genuine connection, I’d love to chat.
