Meet the artists

Zoë is an underwater artist, freedive instructor and ocean storyteller based in Baja California Sur in Mexico. Originally from a fine art and fashion photography background, she worked in the fashion industry for 12 years for clients such as Burberry & Vivienne Westwood. More recently, Zoë transitioned into shooting underwater, utilising her freediving skills to capture all of her underwater imagery on breath-hold. Her artistic output now predominantly revolves around ocean conservation storytelling, often placing humanity in the centre of the narrative, as a commentary on our devastating impact on the health and future of the ocean.

With a signature style of in-camera double exposures and painterly techniques, Zoë loves to experiment with the more organic and artistic elements of photography, exploring her creativity both above & below the surface.
