ASC Welcomes New Member Zoë White
The cinematographer received ASC and Emmy Award nominations for The Handmaid’s Tale, as well as an ASC nomination for the telefilm Hold Your Breath and an Emmy nomination for the documentary Will & Harper.
Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Zoë White, ASC, ACS recalls sparking to photography as a teenager, when she took black-and-white photos with her grandfather’s Pentax as her family traveled in Italy. “It made me aware of being able to frame the world with my own eyes,” she says.
After studying at North Carolina School of the Arts and the Australian Film, Television & Radio School, she had another formative experience: serving as the assistant to Tom Sigel, ASC during production of Superman Returns in Sydney. She soon started shooting music videos and independent films — her credits in the latter arena include Nancy, Catfight and The Afterlight — before landing her big break on the Hulu series The Handmaid’s Tale.
She received ASC and Emmy Award nominations for The Handmaid’s Tale, as well as an ASC nomination for the telefilm Hold Your Breath and an Emmy nomination for the documentary Will & Harper. Her TV work also includes episodes of The Good Daughter, Sirens, The Penguin and Westworld. She recently wrapped the feature System of Colors for director Stephen Cone.
She was named an AC Rising Star of Cinematography in 2019 and was inducted into the Australian Cinematographers Society in 2017.
