Zachery Hobler

Artist

For Zackery Hobler, photography is a means of learning about the external world and how it informs his internal one. Walking and photographing is a practice of searching, with hope, to find moments when the camera – between body and environment – reveals sensibilities often on the periphery of the conscious.

As a self-publisher and editor, Hobler has developed a unique approach to photography and the photobook. His first monograph unifies the understanding that comes from working as a prescribed burn technician with the naïvety of his first walks through burn blocks, of uncertainly walking through wild space on fire.
