About:
Ella Sophie is a San Francisco Bay Area-based photographer and art director whose work seamlessly blends fine art with commercial photography. With a strong foundation in visual arts and a deep fascination with advertising, Ella has developed a distinctive style that is both bold and clean. She specialises in creating powerful imagery that captures the essence of femininity, focusing on light, texture, and form.
“My images have a bold and powerful aesthetic that does not cater to the male gaze. Instead, I work with brands to personify the force and energy of femininity,” Ella explains. With every shot, she strives to evoke not just the visual but also the emotional strength that defines women in the modern world.
Her approach is not about loud, in-your-face power. Ella’s understanding of power is drawn from the quieter yet forceful energies of life. “Power doesn’t always mean loud, brute force,” she notes. “It can be subtle yet achieve great things, much like the way a flower grows strong in the harsh desert or how a peaceful protest can move mountains.”
Ella’s portfolio includes collaborations with well-known brands like Tiffany & Co., Pangea Organics, and Teuscher Chocolates, among others. Her work speaks volumes without the need for excess, and she thrives in projects that allow her to evoke emotion through simplicity and clarity. Her images tell stories—ones of strength, beauty, and resilience—capturing her subjects in ways that feel both intimate and dynamic.
Outside of photography, Ella is a lover of design, hiking, and adventure. She has a love for organisation, colour coordination, and even a quirky habit of cutting her own hair. A lover of subzero temperatures, she’s an avid hiker and has a rescue dog named Phyllo, who’s known for his energy and cuteness.
Ella’s work continues to inspire those around her, not only because of its beauty but also due to the powerful message it conveys about femininity and strength. She seeks to challenge conventional beauty standards, pushing for more authentic representations in her craft.
