While working as a ballet dancer in the 1980’s, Ellen found that she enjoyed watching and analyzing movement as much as dancing.

Ellen moved to New York City to further her dance career but eventually entered the Gallatin School at New York University to pursue her interest in photography. An accidental change in her camera’s shutter speed during a college assignment resulted in her first motion study: a photographic method she has continued to pursue as a way to convey the expression and mystery of dance. After graduation she worked with renowned dance photographer Lois Greenfield and covered dance as a freelance photographer for publications including The New York Times, The Village Voice, New York Magazine and Dance Magazine. Her images of students and faculty at The School of American Ballet, an affilliate of the New York City Ballet, have been exhibited at Lincoln Center.
