About Me

I am a surf lifestyle, fashion and travel photographer/videographer based on the beautiful Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia. I grew up between Paraguay and Spain and have travelled the world from a very young age which fuelled my passion for photography and video.



Eli about me.jpg

Having lived in Paraguay, Argentina, Spain, England, France, Indonesia and Australia, photographic opportunities have been plentiful. My style portrays the laid back nature of beach culture and lifestyle, with sustainability and environmental awareness being the core values of brands I love to work with. 



From working for travel empire Club Med in Bali to international surf fashion brand ROXY in Australia, no matter the project I am committed to capturing the essence of your brand through imagery and video to deliver an impactful message to your audience. 



Your vision matters to me, so you will be involved in the entire process from ideation through to final product. Let’s create magic together and keep your clientele coming back!



When I am not working, you can find me enjoying a morning surf or snorkel, having a cup of hot coffee or camping up and down the coast looking for peeling waves. Always with a camera in hand ready to capture all the beautiful moments that life has to offer. 



I believe we all have a story waiting to be told, so contact me today and let’s discuss your next project!

“When I found out I would be taking a vacation to Sydney, I really wanted to try and capture some of my surf experience there. I came across Ellie’s website. I looked at her previous work and I decided to inquire to her and I’m incredibly happy I did!

From the very beginning Ellie was great about communicating with me. When out in the water, she had a lot of knowledge about surfing and was great with helping me be in the best spots for catching waves and being photographed. She was actively communicating with me to make sure we got the best out of our session.

The whole experience was wonderful. From setting up the session, to being in the water and then seeing the final product. The photos came out amazing! Ellie was able to get all different types of shots for me. They will be something that I’ll treasure for the rest of my life. I’m so happy I decided to do this and thankful to have had Ellie help me the whole way."
