"Elle Green lives through telling stories with her photographs. She captures those in-between moments best, whether it's with her portrait photographs or travel landscapes. She loves reportage and documentary style photographs that, in a whole, are very personal and poetic. " - Sebastien Zanella, Desillusion Magazine
Elle started her photography career teaching darkroom techniques in Maine, USA where she fell in love with the American landscape. She went on to complete a Bachelor of Arts in Photography at RMIT and later interned at Milk Studios in New York City.
Her passion for travel photography was sparked by a trip to South Africa in 2007. This led to a series of self-published photo books and exhibitions—both solo and group—which took her frequently to Japan and Los Angeles.
Expanding her expertise, Elle worked as a digital technician and lighting assistant for top fashion photographers in both Sydney and New York City.
She also served as a brand ambassador for Volcom Women, capturing campaigns, lookbooks, surfers, and skaters. Her work extended into fashion merchandise, with a range of photo-printed T-shirts for Volcom and Hurley.
Now based in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales, Elle continues to focus on travel and portrait photography.
