Hi, I’m Zach Wagner, a headshot photographer based in Omaha, Nebraska, with a deep passion for capturing the essence of actors and performers. My journey into photography began in 2006 as an artistic outlet, but it quickly became clear that photographing people was what I truly loved. Before stepping behind the camera, I spent years as a musician, performing for audiences ranging from intimate crowds to thousands of fans. That experience immersed me in the entertainment industry, allowing me to connect with fellow creatives—actors, musicians, and performers—whose energy and passion inspire me every day.  

My love for storytelling, both on stage and on screen, led me to specialize in actor headshots. I know firsthand how important an impactful image is in making a lasting impression, and I use my expertise in lighting and composition to create headshots that instantly draw attention from casting directors.  

Beyond the technical aspects, my sessions are about connection. I take the time to understand what my clients need from their headshots, ensuring they feel comfortable, confident, and seen. From our first phone call to the moment they step in front of the camera, I build a relaxed and collaborative environment—one where they can be themselves. And yes, music plays a big role in that! I always have their favorite songs playing when they arrive because I know how powerful the right atmosphere can be in setting the tone for an incredible session.  

More than just great photos, I want my clients to walk away feeling excited about their experience and confident in sending their headshots to agents, managers, and casting directors. My goal is simple: to create images that open doors and help actors land the roles they’re passionate about.  

Let’s capture the best version of you.
