Elise Ellis artist statement:
Having grown up in the photography world, as the daughter of a Master Photographer, I knew photography would be an important part of my life. I come from a traditional portrait background having run a successful photography studio in Southwest Missouri for 5+ years. Currently, I own Elise Ellis Photography.
About 2 years ago, I was extremely burned out with traditional portraiture. I actually put my professional gear on the shelf and took a step back from photography. It was then, I began to experiment with iPhoneography.
In 2011, I began using the camera on the iPhone as my primary camera. As the camera on the iPhone has evolved, my love for iPhoneography has grown. I realized the best camera to have is the one you have with you at all times. For me, I always have my iPhone. When I travel, when I head to the park with my boys, or even just hanging out at home, it’s always right there within an arms reach, ready for me to capture a moment in time.
Using the iPhone, I photograph and post process all images utilizing apps I have purchased from Apple’s App Store. Some of these apps are ScratchCam, Filter Mania, Filter Storm, and Photo Toaster.
The medium I have chosen to display my iPhone images on is metal. A dye sublimation process fuses the image to a piece of metal creating incredible visual depth and luminosity.
iPhoneography challenges me. It pushes me to be a better photographer and artist. When you take away all the fancy lenses, flash units, camera bodies, all you have left is your creativity, your vision, your skill in composition and in manipulating the light. iPhoneography is photography in the simplest form.
