British-born and London-based photographer Zoe Economides spent most of her twenties in Australia, where she was exposed to cinematic coastlines, the barren red earth of the Outback and time-weathered rock formations that make it like no other place on Earth.

While studying for her commercial photography degree there, these wide and open expanses, their subtle colour palette and layered textures, undoubtedly became a key influence on her work.

Her beautifully lit images maintain a clean and considered aesthetic through deliberate simplicity. Locations have become a key aspect of her work and she takes great interest in scouting for them to bring her vision to life, imbuing her shoots with a relaxed atmosphere to match.

Always keen for an adventure, the search for these often remote and vast locations has taken Zoe across the globe, from the white-drenched terrain of Antarctica, through the oxygen-starved highlands of Peru, to the awe-inspiring volcanic formations of Iceland.

Inspired by the beauty of nature and the human form, Zoe’s work seeks to bring them together, blurring the lines between portraiture and landscapes.

"Hello or ‘Dydh da’ as they say in Cornwall. Thank you for taking the time to look at my photographs.

In essence, I am a people photographer. I use faces and places to story-tell and give my commissions life. I am inspired by people, their stories and the landscape. These images are from a shoot in January for a UK-based charity who look after the welfare of fishermen. I visited the coastal communities of Cornwall, getting to know the fishermen and their way of life. I took their photos and got a glimpse below the surface. They are a unique people bound by a common bond - the sea.

I have a passion for creating atmospheric, filmic, story-telling images that people can relate to or see something of themselves in. My job is not as a ‘content creator’ but someone who captures something meaningful, impactful and authentic. I shoot for a range of different clients including brands, publications, charities and NGO’s.
