Jack Hartzman has spent more than 30 years doing what he loves most: capturing people at their best. Known for his classic eye, calm presence, and instinct for real moments, Jack specializes in portraiture, weddings, and high-energy events, and is widely recognized as one of the leading names in event photography nationwide.

His work spans editorial, lifestyle, fashion, corporate, political, and commercial photography, giving him the versatility to move seamlessly from intimate portraits to large-scale productions. For nearly two decades, Jack has served as Lead Photographer and Marketing & Events Director at the Washington Talent Agency, where he helped build the photography division into a cornerstone of the brand.

 

Jack’s photography has taken him around the world—from Aruba and Peru to Singapore, Israel, Spain, Greece, Brazil, Australia, Canada and Hawaii—shaping a visual style that blends technical precision with storytelling and cultural awareness.

Photography is also a family affair. Jack works alongside his wife and business partner, Monica, and is proud to share the industry with his adult children: David, a photographer, and Deanna, who manages operations for Washington Talent’s photo novelty division.

Approachable, detail-driven, and deeply invested in every shoot, Jack brings experience without ego and creativity without chaos. Clients trust him not just to take great photos—but to make the entire experience effortless, professional, and genuinely enjoyable.

 

From Jack: Feel free to explore my work, and if you need anything, don’t hesitate to call me at the studio 301.251.6152.

 

A special thanks to my good friend and fellow photographer, Michael Kress, for the headshot.
