Elle Hanley

Photography – Seattle

Elle Hanley is a self taught american fine art photographer currently living and working in seattle. her work is creative and varied focusing mainly on capturing beauty and emotion in a still shot of time. she began photography two years ago as an artistic outlet and it grew into a full fledged devotion. she was drawn in particular to self portraiture for the control it gave over the image outcome and has since emerged as a self portrait artist. Elle enjoys the challenges in creating something vintage and timeless from a thoroughly modern process and the contradiction between the two is a strong theme throughout her work. currently she is working on several projects and creating new and intriguing characters to photograph. she can often be found location hunting on the outskirts of the city with her camera and her dog, actively looking for her next big inspiration.
