He is best known for shooting commercial campaigns in collaboration with Porsche, BMW, Cadillac, General Motors, Hyundai, Ford and more. == Life and career == Zwart was born in Long Beach, California, and learned to drive in his father’s 1964 Porsche 901, chassis number 35.〔(Road and Track magazine article )〕 Growing up next door to his childhood friend and future automotive designer, Freeman Thomas, the two shared a lifelong obsession with automobiles and Porsches in particular.〔(Automobile Magazine Article from August, 2013 by Michael Jordan )〕 In High School, Zwart worked as a veterinary assistant in order to save enough money to eventually purchase a yellow Porsche 914/6. In 1997 he ran that same 914/6 in the 10,000 mile, 25 day, Panama to Alaska Rally winning second place overall. In 1979, after graduating from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, he began work as a still photographer shooting Road & Track Magazine covers, calendars, and article photos. In 1989, following an American Photography Magazine cover story on Zwart’s automotive photography work, he was given the opportunity to direct television commercials.

His commercial client list includes; Porsche, Cadillac, BMW, Ford, PlayStation, Firestone Tire and Rubber Company and most recently Forza Motorsport 5/ Xbox, among others.〔(Jeff Zwart client list on Radial Media's site )〕 Zwart is known for his camera philosophy of “full immersion” perspective, an expertise consulted by “Rush” director Ron Howard. He works globally and has shot in over 30 countries throughout his career working on a range of international advertising campaigns and TV series work. On September 20, 2013, working with San Francisco based advertising agency twofifteenmccan, Zwart revealed the world’s fastest Zoetrope in the form of a two-minute film entitled “Forza/Filmspeed.” The film uses high resolution still images from the Xbox game Forza Motorsport 5 which were printed onto panels and staged at key intervals around a race track to recreate the illusion of movement known as the persistence of vision. In addition to his work as a director, Zwart has published three books in collaboration with (David Bull Publishing ), he is a highly sought-after speaker and panel lecturer, and a monthly contributor to the Porsche Club of America’s “Panorama” magazine, and others.〔(Review; Porsche Rennsport on David Bull Publishing )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jeff Zwart」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
