Distorted Bodies
Digital Photography
2022
Sophie Ellen is an award winning fashion and portrait photographer, published and exhibited internationally.
Her work utilises a feminine aesthetic, inspired by unique beauty and strength. With a meticulous eye for detail, her work is experimental across digital, analogue and polaroid imagery. Working within womenswear, Sophie builds connections with subjects and teams; generating creative imagery for fashion editorial, look book, campaign and portraiture. Parallel to her commercial work, Sophie executes personal projects fusing her fashion aesthetic and personal stories.
‘Distorted Bodies’ explores our distorted versions of Beauty and the impact this has on us. Stemming from my own experience with an Eating Disorder and Body Dysmorphia, I aim to use photography to visualise obscure perspectives that question an individual’s perception of their body.
This series utilises reflections to respond to personal experiences of a distorted view of my body; the obsessive dissection of a reflection and the manipulated view of this.
