zoË bridgman: behind the lens

Graham Gartside

Fashion photography is the fusion of art and commerce and one of its most successful exponents today is Vancouver-based citizen of the world, Zoë Bridgman. Bridgman is an international success story whose work draws inspiration from the sights and cultures she encounters on her extensive travels.

Bridgman feels the need to challenge even unconventional conventions and is recognized for her signature cutting edge, ultra-chic style of cosmopolitan fashion photography. She moves beyond the fashion photography norm of the studio, with lighting and props to photograph outdoors and on location in places — both familiar and extraordinary. Her style captures the essence of Bridgman herself, the new woman: spirited, sophisticated, and independent.  Her work reaches out to a contemporary audience, offering profoundly fresh and influential images.

Bridgman has been firmly established in Vancouver for two years and has acquired a fan base for both her professional and personal commissions.  The city’s dynamic, urban environment provides a constant source of stimuli for new creative work.

Bridgman’s work has been featured in Nuvo Magazine, Strut and the National Post’s Fashion supplement along with many private works for clientele from a range of backgrounds.

Bridgman’s photographs are each a stunning work of art in their own right, designed to show the subject in new, fresh ways: edgy or ethereal; sexy or sophisticated; indolent or industrious.  Whatever the look, Bridgman delivers!
