I have been working in the area of photography since a very early age. I began training with my uncle who was teaching me how to photograph with an old Soviet camera called “Zenit”. Back in those days we didn’t have digital cameras, and everything was done on film. Together we took photographs, processed films and observed the processed negative with the help of magnifying glass. We would choose the best photos and manufacture them using exposure – development – printing process with the help of sophisticated hardware: special photosensitive chemicals, enlarger, special photo-paper, dark room with special lighting used in the photo-manufacturing process, toning solutions, as well as trays, measuring glass ware, thermometers, drying screens, timers, mixing and stirring paddles, and paper cutters. This process was so breathtaking that its difficult for me to fully convey the excitement and emotions that it had on me. Since then, many years have passed.

Darrel Ellis has more than 15 years of experience as a professional photographer. This includes 8 years as photo editor for The Detroit News. His passion for photography comes from the first time he shot with a 35mm film camera. His ability to capture the moments and work with clients and subjects as a friend and professional let him know that this was what he was going to do as a career. Darrel trained as a photojournalist, but most of his current assignments are of a commercial nature. He currently lives just outside of Detroit, Michigan, with son Alair and wife Leslie (who is his yang).
