Hello, I'm Ellen
Photographer
Photography, for me, began as a way to preserve cherished memories for my parents, but it quickly evolved into a deeper exploration of light, composition, and storytelling. As a primarily self-taught photographer with studio experience, I have honed my craft through dedication and curiosity. My meticulous attention to detail allows me to create vivid and dynamic images that capture the essence of each moment and reveal the innermost beauty of my subjects.
My approach
 
The brand EllensViewfinder is a reflection of both my name—Ellen—and my perspective behind the lens. It represents not only the technical aspects of photography but also the way I interpret and capture the world around me. Every frame I take is an expression of what resonates most with me, ensuring that each photograph tells a story from my unique point of view.
 
Final words from
Ellen
I am a fourth-year student at UC Berkeley, where I have gained experience in photojournalism through my work with Blue & Gold Yearbook and Cal FAST (Fashion and Student Trends). My passion extends beyond a single genre—I aspire to explore a diverse range of photography styles and storytelling techniques. Whether capturing fashion, portraits, or dynamic events, I am always looking for new opportunities to grow. Inquire with me to bring your vision to life.
