Hello, I’m Zoë.

About.

I was born in Darlington in the North East of England and I trained as an actor at London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. I found my love for photography with my love for people. My family and friends would say that I always found the good in everyone and everything. My brain is pretty consistently busy setting up shots whoever I’m with, wherever I go and in all honesty, I have such a passion for my work and art which seems to be undying.

So, what do I take photos of? It's rare you'll find me without my camera. I snap headshots, portraits, rehearsals, productions and performances, events, behind the scenes. I also enjoy snapping architecture, animals and wildlife.

I have taken snaps for venues and companies such as the Royal Court Theatre (London), Paines Plough (London), LAMDA (London), Alphabetti Theatre (Newcastle), The Vocal Room (North East) and Foppish Theatre Company (London/Birmingham) and I have worked closely with Shields Agency (North East) since their opening a few years ago.

At the present time I am not taking private headshot or portrait bookings through Zoë Birkbeck Photography. However, I am available for other projects so hit me up if you need your rehearsals capturing or some snazzy stand-out show snaps.
