I worked with Zoë for the first time yesterday and must say it was a pleasure. Zoe is a delight to work with, very engaging and friendly. I love the shots we made together and I enjoyed the fact that Zoe was happy to try any idea including submerging in a freezing cold pool to get a shot I love. I would definitely work with Zoe again, she was polite, professional and came made up to match the brief in both hair and make up style. Top class model. Loved her.

I had my second shoot with Zoe yesterday at Zavod studio in Sheffield. Even though it was a hot day, we worked through six concepts during the shoot, making use of many different locations in the fascinating old industrial building that both houses and extends the potential of the studio.

Zoe was a star, combining style, attention to detail and artistic vision to move effortlessly between a very chic homage to Russian art-inspired elements of the studio, a recreation of a wonderful chiaroscuro masterpiece with a distinctly unusual twist, and a very imaginative wander through the industrial parts of the building and its evocative industrial machinery.

I love working with Zoe. Her creativity sparks so many ideas and her natural elegance and ability to bring inner thoughts and emotions out and into the image make her a joy to shoot with.

Highly recommended and a truly wonderful person.

Zoe came to shoot at our studio today and that was my first time meeting her.

I have previously seen Zoe's work and always admired her artistry. She is incredible! Love the ideas she introduces into the set.

She also has a beautiful unique look, I loved the various expressions she was able to perform - 10 out of 10 overall!

Totally recommend working with her.

Thank you so much Zoe,

Zavod

What a fabulous shoot with Zoe at my fave outdoor studio. After crystal clear comms I met Zoe at the station and we headed to location just 5 minutes away. With a fab traveling wardrobe and a seriously positive attitude of can do, we made some glorious photographs. As a model she is fabulous and the shapes just flow. Cant’ wait to get stuck into the editing. Highly recommended.

Had a great shoot with Zoe, she had a firm idea of what she wanted to shoot but also took on board ideas and suggestions from myself.

The shoot produced some great images one of which has gained an FPI, which was great.

Shooting with Zoe was so easy she literally would climb a giant rock, tangle herself in a tree, stand on a wall in high heels. I think at some point a duck pond was mentioned, she was up for anything to get a shot.

Would highly recommend working with her.

Zoe is an excellent model whom needs little direction, she was so easy to work with and the whole shoot was super relaxed and flowed very organically - we nailed some brilliant shots. Zoe has amazing bone structure and real English Rose vibes. She creates grace, melancholy and drama when the outfit/mood required. A natural beauty and very much recommended.

This year I wanted to start to push my work in a fine art and editorial direction. Zoe has done a lot more than help me push - we've just finished our first shoot together and I feel like I've been launched from a rocket-powered catapult!

As well as having an absolutely wonderful look, Zoe has great knowledge and insight into the creative process, translating it into styling, expressive poses and an ability to convey exactly the emotions and atmosphere that I have been thinking about during lockdown.

Zoe had put a lot of time and effort into crafting beautiful hand-made accessories for the shoot and had selected a perfect range of clothing. That, and a huge contribution of seven (count them) concepts for the session meant we finished with a great portfolio to work with.

True collaboration. A very happy and productive shoot with a wonderful model who excels at conceptual themes and takes direction very well while adding so much more. Nothing could be better.

I can't wait to shoot with Zoe again.

Zoë is so easy to work with, a creative mind that help you create unique images. Worked for the first time with her and cannot wait to work with her again and she is amazing. If you haven't worked with her yet, you should!

As a photographer I get giddy about new gear. So following the purchase of a new lens i had a challenge in my mind. One camera one lens. So I selected fairly old camera and paired it up with my new lens. I have worked with Zoë before on multiple occasions and I knew she is the one for the challenge. So I contacted her. She did arrived on time we had a coffee on the way to location and discussed the shoot. It couldn't go any easier. She is a professional. Zoë also always trying to do her best what ever the situation. I mean we was climbing tables spinning with cellophane roll, climbing rocks or hiding in the branches of trees in Rivelin Valley even modeling a short summer dress while sliding in her pink heels on frozen streets of Sheffield yes Summer dress in freezing temperatures. She delivered on every occasion. I highly recommend her as a model.

What can I say about Zoe - absolutely fantastic model. We shot for the first time last week in a reclamation yard in Sheffield (Zoe’s idea). From the off she was climbing up ladders onto storage containers to get the shots we wanted. She has some great ideas about the shots she wants but was receptive to some of the ideas I had too. We got some really arty shots and have some ideas about what we’d like to shoot in the future. I’m really looking forward to our next shoot in the not too distant future. If you get a chance to work with Zoe grab it with both hands, you won’t be disappointed.

What can i say. AMAZING & INTERESTING PERSON, A FRIEND, A MODEL, COMPOSER, and not at last a great human being to be around always. There is a lot to Zoe you will not find anywhere else. We started our journey back in 2020 few months into 1st lockdown. And we did shoot few times since. Whether Zoes ideas or me trying new gear sessions, I was always happy to meet her and always happy with whatever we produced together.

Zoe is a Gem.

That kind of gem you wish to leave in its raw state and admire and photograph from every angle.

That kind of gem that charges you with positive energy.

That kind of gem that will help you achieve everything you want.

You need to work with Zoe to get to know what i am writing about i highly recommend her as a model. Zoe is professional if you expect great thing look no further.
