About Mark Zucker and Zookbinders

Under Mark’s leadership, the album company has consistently broken new ground. Zookbinders’ production cycle time is among the quickest in the industry; the company was first to offer digital templates to photographers for album design; and more recently, the company created a one-stop shop for photographers with the addition of in-house print services for digitally designed albums.

The professional photography industry has experienced remarkable change since Zookbinders produced its first album 12 years ago. To keep pace with the changing needs of photographers, Mark has led the company through three reinventions.

From day one, Mark has upheld Zookbinders’ commitment to providing the finest quality, quickest turnaround and best customer service. [Read more]
