Hey, I’m Elli

Hey, I'm Elli — welcome to my corner of the internet.

I’m a bit of a walking contradiction (you’ll catch on quickly), but honestly, that’s one of my favourite things about myself.

I’m a photographer, videographer, UGC creator, and a chronic over packer who refuses to niche down. One day I’m shooting ocean dips and golden hour portraits, the next I’m filming high intensity gym sessions, off-grid cabins, or maternity magic.

People love to say “find your niche” but I say, why box up something that’s meant to flow? I’d rather chase whatever lights me up and find new ways to tell a damn good story. Romanticising the process is kind of my thing.

If you like labels (but not boxes), here’s what I do:
📸 Photographer – think fitness, travel, portraits, accommodation, maternity — she’s a mixed bag.
🎥 Videographer – I capture energy, movement, culture, and those blink and you’ll miss it in between moments.
📲 UGC Creator – content that feels like your best friend hyping you up (because I probably am).
💌 Passion Project Devotee – I write letters and leave them in books, phone booths, and strangers’ mailboxes — because I believe in unexpected magic.

For the astrology heads:
☉ Scorpio Sun – intuitive AF, emotionally dialed in, and probably sees the shot before it happens.
☽ Capricorn Moon – grounded, practical, and brings structure to the creative chaos.
↑ Cancer Rising – all about comfort, connection, and making people feel at home.

Also: I’m a 4/6 Projector in Human Design, which means I see what others often miss, lead with heart, and thrive in deep, meaningful collabs. Basically: you’ll feel seen.

Some days I’m editing to hip hop, other days it’s EDM, and sometimes it’s just me, a chai, my oil diffuser and 60s tunes dancing in the kitchen.

I pick up random hobbies like pottery, silversmithing, and painting (not well… but art is art).
Creativity, for me, thrives in rhythm and contrast and I believe that they all interconnect and help to spark new ideas and keep the passions alive and thriving.

I travel often, create always, and I’m that friend — the one yelling “wait, don’t move!” before snapping the best candid of your life.
