Zoe

Zoe's photography has both a distinctive style, but she also experiments frequently. I would say Zoe is both a street photographer and a portrait photographer. She also combines the 2 as well. As an overall style she uses natural light and little to no editing. Her experiments however have significance as well. Her use of costumes, an overhead projecture, and a Holga camera give her a edge and inventiveness.

I picked these 2 photos as 2 of Zoe's strongest images. They are both street photography, but are very different. The first image of 3 homeless people works with both street photography and portraits. The portrait aspect of the photo is posed yet has a candid feel to it. The black and white gives it a old-timey feel to it, which contrasts to the modernism of it. The second photo is very soft and serene. The layers of of distance and lines gives it depth and shape.
