One of the most widely published portrait artists on the West Coast, Bil Zelman's work has graced the pages of Rolling Stone, GQ, Spin, Travel and Leisure, Details, Wired, People, Elle, Cigar Aficionado, W and Time magazines to name a few.

In addition to his fashion work, commercials and celebrity portraiture- he's been invited to shoot weddings all over the world and runs studios out of both Southern California and Vancouver, BC.

The honesty in Bil's edgy and emotive fashion and fine art portraiture has garnered him a multitude of International advertising campaigns, five solo exhibitions, placed his work in the permanent collection at the Museum of Photographic Arts, and landed bright reviews in the front of the LA Times-Arts Section.

Comfortable with formal or informal shooting, Bil shoots from the heart; purposely avoiding canned, or posed photographs.
