We love the way Ellen sees the world – thoughtful and subversive, striking in grayscale. Even her most intimate, personal imagery feels universal. We sat down with the artist to learn a little more about the mind behind the lens (and her penchant for apricot delights).
PHH- What’s your favourite image in Four Seasons?
E- That’s really hard to say, but currently, my favourite is ‘Portrait 7′.
PHH- Where do you go to feel inspired?
E- No particular spot – but I like to walk, it helps me think.
PHH- What’s one ritual you’re loving right now?
E- Having my morning coffee while in the shower.
PHH- Tell us about your most memorable travel experience?
E- Jumping on the wrong train from Rome to Geneva when I was travelling alone at 16. I realised at the last moment the train was heading to Germany and I jumped off as it was exiting the station. This has stuck in my mind – what if I hadn’t gotten off in time?
