About
Zoë has a BA (Hons) degree in photography from the University for the Creative Arts. Based in Bristol, she specialises in sport photography. As a former Bristol Hawks elite gymnast and current qualified coach, she is passionate about sport and the art of movement. Born into a gymnastic family, she is ‘at home’ within the sporting environment and often spends her time photographing the elite gymnasts when they are training.
Since graduating university, Zoë has set up ‘Gymnastic Shoot Sundays’ offering a unique photo shoot opportunity for gymnastics of all ages and abilities. Hosted at one of the top clubs in Great Britain, Bristol Hawks Gymnastics, Zoë has carried out many successful shoots with exclusive access to the gyms and continues to enjoy creating fun, dynamic images for parents and gymnasts.
In addition to shooting at Bristol Hawks, Zoë has had the great opportunity to shoot the prestigious Adrian Stan British Teams Championships held at world-class sporting venue Surrey Sports Park. The two day event offered lots of fantastic gymnastics from clubs across the UK and internationally. Zoë gained invaluable experience spending her weekend shooting and has plans to continue attending Women’s Artistic Gymnastics competitions across the UK.
