Elle, also known as "Ellenaturel," has been captivated by photography from a young age. Though she doesn’t recall taking her first photo, her connection to the art has always been undeniable. Despite initially exploring various paths shaped by society’s expectations, a transformative experience shooting for a clothing line awakened her true passion for photography. That moment was a wake-up call - a realization that her destiny was to capture the world through her lens. Photography became her way of telling the stories that words could not express, and with that, she began to embrace her true calling.

Elle refers to herself as an "Artographer" a term she coined to reflect her unique fusion of art and photography, blending technical skill with an avant-garde creative vision. Her work is defined by an eye for brilliance in texture, balancing traditional techniques with abstract energy and heavy tonality. Her creative approach challenges perceptions, inviting viewers into a world that holds space for both depth and simplicity, innovation and introspection.

As a Professor of Photography, Elle is dedicated to shaping the next generation of photographers. Her teaching extends beyond the technicalities of the craft; she encourages her students to integrate mindfulness, creative intention, and spiritual awareness into their artistic process. In her mindful creative workshops and photo walks, Elle creates a safe space for participants to deepen their connection to both their work and their inner selves, fostering personal growth and creative exploration.

Elle’s journey has led her to collaborate with major brands and artists such as Nike, Samsung, CN Tower, The Remix Project, OVO, Jessie Reyez, Post Malone, Director X, and many others. Yet, what truly sets Elle apart is her character. While her work is unquestionably impactful, she humbly recognizes that her journey as an artist is ongoing, with much more to discover and share.

As she continues to build her legacy, Elle is committed to changing the world through her art, her teaching, and her commitment to growth. She believes that photography is more than just capturing an image - it's an art of seeing, connecting with one's soul, and revealing the unseen stories that lie within. Elle is passionate about guiding others to see the world through a more intentional and soulful lens, awakening creativity and connection in every frame. Her influence will continue to inspire, and her legacy will shape the future of photography and personal growth for years to come.
