Elle Clarke

always a artist a eye for design, I went to f.i.t. in nyc for illustration, after school i ended up a textile artist in the garment district, working for different studios. i typically always had a camera in my hand regardless, the designated family photographer growing up. I documented friends, family and the world around me always a people watcher. having to pull away from the detailed work of hand painting textiles because of a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, i had to take time off to regroup. never able to return to the work that i had always done I organically ventured into street photography, with the convenience of a smartphone with a kick-ass camera, my eye for composition and design, i was reborn, the ambiguity of a phone in your hand like the rest of the world while hitting the streets of nyc and queens i've used my photography to capture the streets and use it as a healing tool for my lost artistic self! finding street photography has connected me to a world i beleive i was meant to create in. I truly will never stop it's that important to me! Enjoy!
