A year after 2022 in Kauai

October 16, 2023

Sometimes one steps back from images long enough and come back to them with fresh eyes. This really isn’t what I did at all. I found myself on a new roaming art circuit with Photo Independent showing my work in Milan and LA, finishing up my newly published monograph of my Polaroid Type 85 solarized…

Swings, fallen leaves and slanted trees

The last time Brooke and I made photos in Kauai our luck wasn’t oh so great. I love the photos we created in 2016, but there were complications with a mean lady that shortened our day of making them. 2022 made up for all that. We found such a serene location and took our time…

Discovering my location serenity with Anne

  Zen garden in the front, surfers to the left and silence to photograph to the right of it all. Somewhere in the middle on the way back were these trees. I love that I found a spot in the water that looks like an eye. Anne held her poses on the pupil of it…

An otherworldly afternoon with Cheyanne

December 9, 2022

| ZoeFest20

This was a test on my agility. Exactly one month and 3 days after brain surgery I decided to hike up a rock pile next to a river. I did it, but it was out of arrogance to my equilibrium. Eventually the equilibrium won out and Chey and I went back to the resort and…

Picasso reflections

The early afternoons made wonderful reflections in the swimming pool in the house. I think I timed it right for a couple of these. They seem rather Picasso-esque to me. In one of the images it almost looks like one of his strange faces in his paintings. My imagination is always seeing shapes in shadows…

Vine Hammocks and a Throne in the Forest

I love the work I make with Lucy. When two people are looking for images together it all sort of sorts itself out. Keep looking for the light…. or the shadow. All these images within a 45 minute walk that started right out the front door of the house. Noosa was a brilliant backdrop.  Enjoy….

I revisited my dawn shoot with Minh Ly for more consistency for our work at the rock pool.

A birds eye view ~ Ella

© 2018 Zoe Wiseman ~ model: Ella Rose

These were so hard to edit. Almost each one was qualifying and my eyes crossed in the attempt to narrow it down.  Ella’s posing was pretty much dictated by the waves coming in and going out. It was a serious blend with the natural environment and she was so zen about it even when the…

I feel like Ella and I embarked on 2 shoots instead of one shoot because of the difference in the images. So here is part 1 with Part 2 coming soon…  I just love an empty beach. And those hair reflections!

All the Beaches We Must Roam with Tara

© 2018 Zoe Wiseman ~ Model: Tara

I hope that someday I wake up and say, “My god Tara, we are in our 80’s now and I’m still taking photos of you. Someone must be sick of us somewhere, but screw that person!” There are a lot of models that I feel that way about, though I’ve photographed Tara the longest.  I…
