Quotes from others about the person
John Selwyn Gilbert wrote of her: "I know of no other photographer who got closer to the real spirit of dancers and the dance than Zoë Dominic. She was a remarkable photographer and inspired great trust in the artists she took as subjects. If she caught a dancer in an unflattering pose or making a mistake, a drooping wrist, a lazy, half-pointed foot, she would not print the picture."
