Thank you so much Lensculture for featuring my work as inspiration for the street photography call!! It is amazing; amongst all the fantastic photos shown on the platform, suddenly my own work is in the spotlights. Feeling proud 😊
Winner Life Framer - Again!!
Over the moon to be once more selected as Life Framer Winner. The theme 'The Human Body’ was curated by Joachim Ladefoged. This was said about the image:
"Channelling the way in which artists such as Arno Rafael Minkkinen integrate their bodies into the natural landscape, Eli finds wonder in a simple scene, where these bony, dirtied feet echo tree roots clawing out of the foliage and rising upwards. Captured in stark black and white, it feels visceral and real – a reminder of our interconnection with the natural world, delivered in a playful, effortless way."
To celebrate, the image is now available as print for limited time only: webshop.
Winner Life Framer Street Life!
It is amazing to be amongst the winners of the Life Framer Street Life theme, curated by Magnum street photographer Bruce Gilden. This is what was said about my work:
“Some images capture a place, a person or a moment, and others capture a feeling. Through blurred shapes and over-saturated colors – rule-breaking at its core – Eli conjures a painterly scene that describes a sense of freneticism, of fading recollections, of passers-by gone in a flash to continue the trajectory of their own lives. It’s gorgeous urban poetry.” – Life Framer
The image is now available as print via the webshop.
