Zack Daigle is a versatile photographer and artist in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Born in Winnipeg in 1984, he moved to Halifax at age four and grew up surrounded by a blend of artistic and scientific influences. His mother worked as a forensic scientist with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, while his father was an artist and ran a print shop. Zack’s early exposure to the arts and varied career experiences laid the foundation for his unique artistic vision.

After high school, Zack worked in various fields, including fitness and event security, as a lead hand for Brinks Armoured Transport. He also pursued Kyokushin Karate, a bare-knuckle, full-contact martial art, which would influence his disciplined and rugged approach to his work. His passion for law enforcement led him to join the Canadian Forces as a Military Police member in 2009, where he served for thirteen years. His military career took him to diverse locations, including Cairo, Egypt, and Nairobi, Kenya, and it was during this time that he discovered his passion for photography.

In 2021, Zack was medically released from the Canadian Armed Forces, prompting a significant career shift. He chose to pursue photography professionally, enrolling in the professional photography program at Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) and graduating in 2023. Zack is attending the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD) for a BFA in photography. Before his photography career, he attended Royal Roads University (RRU) and graduated in 2022 with a BA in Justice Studies.
