I specialize in G&E, cinematography, and portrait photography, but I am always open to trying new things. I’ve been based in Louisville, KY since leaving college full-time in 2023. While Kentucky is currently my home, I grew up moving every six years, so I also consider home to be New York, Massachusetts, Texas, New Jersey, and Ohio. Moving states brought many challenges to my childhood, but the experience has opened my eyes to diverse communities and allows me to constantly seek out new ways to connect with others. I’ve been making movies and taking photos for most of my life, but I fell in love with cameras in 2015, when I took a darkroom photography class my freshman year of high school. That first photo class, combined with my senior year film studies class, introduced me to a world where my quick thinking and attention to detail translates into visual problem-solving and thoughtful creative execution. I went on to pursue a bachelor’s degree in photography at Syracuse University, where I also discovered the world of film production. Additionally, I chose to pursue a minor in art history, which has provided me with vocabulary and visual references to further enhance my work. When I’m not on set, I’m usually sharing random fun facts, watching movies, working on a crochet project, cooking Korean food, or tending to my many houseplants. https://zoemccreary.com/home daily 1.0 2025-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60786e9ab28bbe208fbbc665/7cb66495-46b4-4516-9628-2cb4f266e0c2/IMG_9904.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60786e9ab28bbe208fbbc665/7e6f06e7-7467-40ea-87a3-c9ba4b5c6d4a/Screen+Shot+2023-05-05+at+9.53.53+AM.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60786e9ab28bbe208fbbc665/94f47786-4730-42fe-9a75-6c8aa9c0c487/capstone2.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60786e9ab28bbe208fbbc665/ee80b54c-848c-43cc-9326-69718662c532/McCrearyZ_01_%2820240906_0030%29.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60786e9ab28bbe208fbbc665/a4c57a85-8cd5-4317-8922-0984ef1d8e3c/McCrearyZ_111_%2820240426_0893%29.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60786e9ab28bbe208fbbc665/1122b6e2-ced7-4a5d-9259-221e20b7da32/McCrearyZ_06_%2820210430_0171%29.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60786e9ab28bbe208fbbc665/6aa64fad-7733-44ab-a2c8-8075d76aa41f/2022_VIS500_McCreary_02.jpg Home https://zoemccreary.com/published-work daily 0.75 2023-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60786e9ab28bbe208fbbc665/a420aee2-f3dc-442a-a493-9e768a74836c/M_IHOTM_20230111_ZM_0878.jpeg Published Work - Newhouse students get front-row seat at FISU Winter World University Games Seventeen Newhouse School students are in Lake Placid covering the FISU Winter World University Games.
