Ellie Coker’s work explores how the body can tell stories which linger beyond first glance. Through her lens, she reveals the subtleties of a gesture, the idiosyncrasies that define our shared experience, and the beauty found in the stillness in between. Her interplay with light is grounded in a tangible reality, a crisp and honest device through which she tells her stories. Ellie works closely with her subjects, creating space for trust and quiet collaboration. The dance between photographer and subject yields fashion imagery imbued with humanity - we are in the realm of portraiture.
