Isaiah “Zay” Saunders

Ahoj!

I’m a Rhode Island–based Director of Photography and founder of Zzzaydream Media, a visual résumé that began as a meek high school photography blog in 2016.

My work spans all sub-genres of the industry. I've had the privilege of collaborating with brands and institutions such as the Boston Celtics, The Big 12, CVS, Four Seasons, Big Nice Studio, and numerous talented artists & musicians around the world — delivering meaningful visual storytelling from concept to final cut.

At the core of everything I do is a simple mission: to preserve life’s most fleeting moments through compelling storytelling. Whether behind or in front of the camera, I strive to create work that feels intimate, vibrant, and unforgettable.

When I’m not on set, you can find me planning surprise gatherings for friends & family, chasing live music, playing sub-average golf, exploring new places around the globe & proudly pouring my soul into my sacred Bills Mafia.

Love you all | Let’s chat :-]
