ZoneZero is a website dedicated to photography, founded in 1994 by Mexican photographer Pedro Meyer.[1]

It first appeared online when the internet became a public resource, making it the oldest still-standing and growing website dedicated to photography.[2] Robert Hirsch has referred to it as a "top-notch" photographic site.[3]

The site is bilingual in English and Spanish and free of charge. It has a curated gallery space with portfolios and slide shows of featured photographers. Anyone meeting certain requirements can submit up to five images to the portfolio. The site also includes a magazine, a monthly editorial written by foundation staff and the founder, moblogs, e-books for download, and a forum.
