Born in Israel, Amir has been a nomad photographer and videographer since 2013, living and working in music festivals around the world. Studied animation back home and became a self-taught photography professional. Started in the studio with model glamour work and soon realised he was missing the outdoors. The opportunity came and Amir shifted to the festival scene as a visitor of Luminate Festival in Auckland, New Zealand. After that this life became his own and a profession. His project Transformational Eye is focused on documenting the festival life, the communities and alternative hippie psychedelic culture he experiences. We are very happy to be part of it!

Born in Lisbon, Portugal on the 1st of April of 1988, Flyp early found his calling in drawing, painting and writing. Following his natural vocation, life took him through the studies of graphic design, video editing, motion graphics, 2D & 3D animation and photography, and is currently taking his first steps in the area of video-mapping and VJing. All these years of studies, self-taught expertise, curiosity and passion for his work have made him specialize in visual content making.
Having grown up during the 90's deeply influenced by the psychedelic sounds of techno beats, house music and - you guessed it - goa trance, Flyp never really had the chance to experience and feel that real Trance vibe until he joined the ZNA crew back in 2012. Since then he got his ZNA reactivated and started to roam the Earth in search for the next most challenging creative quest, working as a digital nomad. His passion and dedication is such that he has already left his mark around the globe with his graphic and video skills, contributing for other international music festivals, theater plays and music bands, including worldwide renowned companies. Whatever project he picks up, he treats it as his own - and with ZNA is no different.
This is the guy that gives shape to all of the video animation and design content you see on behalf of ZNA Gathering - and we couldn't be more proud and happy to have such a creative graphic wizard on our side to materialize our ZNA dimension.

Márcio Loureiro is the artist behind the lens of all ZNA official films. Besides being one of the most talented directors out there today, he sees and feels our Zambu reality through his director's distinguished eyes, completely devoted to our concept and beliefs.
He strives to portray our unique 9 days of gathering with his creative mind make use of all his techniques, knowledge and mastery. It's as one of us and in the middle of the action that he gets inspired on how our ZNA history must be seen and felt, always respecting the Zambus' privacy, at the same time he focuses on the rare energy we all generate when we are together.
He certainly shares our ZNA, and it's a huge honor to have him on our Zambu team.
