David Ellingsen

When Shira, Lisa, Jet and I opened the package that held David Ellingsen's photographs, we were all left a bit breathless. Even more spectacular in person, these photos are equally haunting and dreamy.

Born in 1969, David Ellingsen is originally from Cortes Island, a remote community of 1000 residents in Canada's Pacific Northwest. Raised on a small family farm surrounded by forest and ocean, his photography is rooted in this rural upbringing. David's personal exhibition photographs have been shown in over thirty solo and group exhibitions in Canada, the USA, Asia, and Europe and are part of the permanent collections of the Beaty Biodiversity Museum, the Dana Farber Cancer Centre at Harvard University and the Chinese Museum of Photography. His recent work Sea/Life was shortlisted for Photolucida's Critical Mass 2011 Book Award.
