Ella Sophie

Chapter: San Francisco /
Pro Type: Photographer

Commercial photographer, empowering women.

Specializing in photographing women and products, in studio and on location.

My images have a bold and powerful aesthetic that does not cater to the male gaze. With a detail oriented focus on how light, form, and texture enhance one another.

Personal strengths include being incredibly organized. Staying calm in challenging moments. And hiking hundreds of miles at a time.

Some of the places my images have appeared include:
Musée Magazine, The New York Times, Vogue India, Boston Voyager, and American Art Collector.

Education:
School of Visual Arts – Photography BFA with honors
DCC – Commercial Arts AAS with honors

+Continued Education: various workshops and masterclasses to keep my skills fresh.


A note on power... powerful doesn't always mean loud, in your face, brute force. My definition and understanding of power comes from seeing the force of a peaceful protest. Watching the subtle drip of water erode a rock face. Or how a delicate flower can grow strong in the harsh desert. Power can be quiet, and subtle while achieving great things.
