Los Angeles based children's photographer. Someday I'll take beautiful minimalist pictures too.
There's just a little bit of magic in Sesame Ellis' breath-taking portrait work that keeps me in a state of constant amazement. The secret life of children captured seemingly effortlessly in an instant. Her miraculous use of color and light is creamy and comforting, yet doesn't diminish the individuality of her subjects. Each personality is captured without pretense or cliche - simple elegance. The sensitivity and admiration she has for the children she's photographed is as clear as the photographs themselves.
