Adrienne Zoe is an award-winning fine art and nature photographer based in Kitchener Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. She has developed her own unique style of creative photography which she called Photo Fantasia.

Originally from Borneo, Adrienne grew up next to a tropical jungle, overlooking the picturesque seaside town of Kota Kinabalu. Her childhood memories are filled with amazing experiences with unspoiled nature she encountered on land and at sea. If only she had a camera, but she got her wish after she left Borneo at sixteen. She hasn’t put down her camera since.

Trips back to Borneo have been a wake-up call – many aspects of nature she remembered are now gone. Conservation is important. Today, Adrienne finds meaning in her photography by promoting appreciation of nature, bringing awareness to and supporting conservation. Adrienne is committed to donating a percentage of nature sales proceeds to conservation charities such as Waterloo Region Nature, and the Owl Foundation.

A self-taught photographer, Adrienne is proud to have won awards at national and international juried photography exhibitions, and at local juried art shows. Adrienne received the Best Photographer Platinum Award via the 2021 Record Readers’ Choice Awards. Her images have gone to new homes within Canada and around the globe (as Canadian gifts), and have been purchased as corporate art by Cambridge Memorial Hospital and Gowling WLG international law firm in Kitchener.

Adrienne exhibits year-round at Uptown Gallery Waterloo. She also participates in studio tours and local art shows. Meet Adrienne at one of her shows – see her show schedule here. For your shopping convenience, Adrienne has an online store here. Her work can also be found in gift shops and galleries in Waterloo, Cambridge, London, and St. Jacobs.

Adrienne is a proud member of Kitchener Waterloo Society of Artists, the Canadian Association of Photographic Arts CAPA), Art$Pay, and the Grand River Imaging and Photographic Society.

Her husband, Jonathan Sau, is an accomplished fine art photographer and a certified CAPA judge. Learn more about his work at Jonathan’s Website. Their son, Sau, is an international digital artist. See his Instagram profile here.

“Born an artist, my joy in photography is to explore it as an art-form, to not simply shoot beautiful photographs, but to create art. As a creative photographer, my goal is to engage my audience with images that demand reflection and contemplation. It is my passion to capture the beauty of the world and nature in a way that is different and arresting, and my pleasure to share it.”
