More about Elaina D....
What do you love about your job?
I love telling stories and curating a series of images for people to treasure for years to come. I feel so privileged to be able to have the opportunity to meet and work with people from a wide range of backgrounds on a daily basis. There are almost eight billion people on this planet and 195 countries to visit and what a shame it would be to waste it only interacting with the people in one. I've hitchhiked 1500 miles across Australia's longest straight road when I became stranded in the outback with my camera, Paraglided in Turkey, climbed up mountains in New Zealand, floated in the Dead Sea and even hanged out with 12 Bedouin men in the Jordanian desert after being hired as a camp owners personal photographer so now I speak a little bit of Arabic and can make some cracking Middle Eastern Dishes.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
I've lost count, although I always go above and beyond to make sure no moments are missed and a narrative is built for a beautiful story to be captured and told.
Awards, honors, and recognitions received
My last accomplishment was having my work published by the NHS.
A fun fact about this photographer
If I'm not photographing, I will more than likely be travelling. Whilst it might be slightly optimistic, it's a goal of mine to visit every single country one day!
