For today’s episode, I’m talking with Zoe Wittering, a portrait photographer based in the south of France. She creates beautiful and meaningful photography work through both her personal projects and her client work. About a year ago, she posed a question on Instagram that I hadn’t forgotten because I loved it so much. She said, if she could sit somewhere beautiful and share a cup of tea, there were all these wonderful topics she’d like to talk about -like art featuring women by women, analogue v digital, creativity & guilt & trust, and rest. And even though we are countries away from each other and can’t talk about these topics in person, we were able to have a wonderful virtual conversation which you can hear here.

She loves taking pictures of her family and wants to give that same joy to others through timeless images. Here's a couple fun tidbits about her: She is a bit film obsessed. She believes the colors and tones that film photography produces has no comparison. It can produce the most timeless portrait and in the next instance she can experiment with it and produce an other worldly rainbow delight.
