David Ellis

London

David Ellis' work is fresh, challenging and diverse. His innovative use of lighting and his conceptual approach to composition has seen him establish a unique style across all genres, from portraiture to reportage and fashion. His photographs are distinguished by a vibrant originality that has propelled him in to high profile arena at a young age.

His collection of music, fashion and celebrity icons provides an insight to David's attention to detail. Precisely lit and thoughtfully composed, each image gives the viewer what feels like a personal introduction to the subject. His work is not limited to his commissions and personal projects demonstrate his enthusiasm to explore more controversial subject matters. On a recent trip to Kenya, deep in the Masai Mara, David sensitively documented the Masai tribes and surrounding landscape.
