Elle is a creative photographer with a wealth of experience in fine art and capturing beautiful imagery for inspiring people and organisations.
Influenced by her background in painting her work currently explores the use of vintage film and printing techniques. Specifically now experimenting with replacing traditional darkroom chemicals with plant based materials.
Her latest work is inspired by Elle’s late father’s drawings of rocks, many of which she discovered in his studio following his recent unexpected passing. He was able to identify an incredibly unique beauty and calm in their eroding forms, likening their subtle imperfections to problems humans face on a daily basis, and their relative irrelevance to our wider state of being within the universe.
Elle draws parallels between the curves and textures of these eroding, evolving rocks and the ageing process of our bodies; something she sees more worthy of celebration than fear. The films are developed with a bespoke developer made from seaweed foraged from the coast where the images are shot.
