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.

"Still life takes the viewer into a studied construction created by the photographer. It offers a way to understand content. When focusing on objects arranged on a surface, instinctively it is compartmentalised into a composition understood by the viewer. Photography’s intent is to structure space in a form that is both understandable and organised. When done successfully, a sense of order along with an acute awareness of form and content materialises.

Believing that every object either animate or inanimate, has a presence and a soul ready to be coaxed out offering a new sense of authenticity to the product being photographed."

The work can be seen in ad campaigns, digital content, magazines, books, corporate assignments and private collections throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia.
