New York City-based photographer Ellen McDermott and creative partner Bridget Sciales create imagery that instantly provokes the viewer into a time and space which is both intimate and visceral. Through refined lighting and composition, product becomes objects of desire which immerses the viewer immediately. 

Ellen, a native New Englander, and Bridget, a native New Yorker, both hold BFA degrees and use their fine arts backgrounds to create passionate graphic interpretations which carry an ageless quality and drives messaging that is both provocative and effective. 

Their photography evokes emotion which enhances the digital experience for consumers across e-commerce, marketing, and content creation. Believing that every object, either animate or inanimate, has a presence and a soul ready to be coaxed out. The excitement is in the unexpected surprises different lighting conditions offer.
