Ellis; Photographer and Artist
Who is the man behind the camera, the man with such a magnificent eye for beauty?! Better yet, how does art itself fit into his line of work?
For starters, his name is Ellis and of course the arts are a primary love of his! Anyone who has seen the photographs here, on the website, or on Facebook can attest to the captivating essence of his work! But Ellis is so much more than a photographer who knows how to capture magic in the form of photographs!
Before making a home in the world of photography, Ellis discovered a natural ability and interest in art & painting at an early age. He began painting professionally in the 80s and has done many shows and exhibits since then! This birthed a new love and interest for Ellis, which took him in the direction of shooting “subject matter for paintings.” From there, Ellis began photographing his own artwork!! This was “a step toward having [his] art reproduced into fine art prints.”
As a result of finding this niche for himself, Ellis began exploring “creative photography as an artistic medium of its own.” In turn, he had acquired much professional camera equipment that he soon “realized could be more fully utilized…”

To increase his experience and put himself out there in the photography world, Ellis “volunteered as a staff photographer with the Gateway Classic Foundation.” The Gateway Classic Foundation is a non-profit organization designed to help in with educational and charitable opportunities in the St. Louis area! The mission of the organization is to specifically provide financial support in the community by way of sports programs and scholarships!
Ellis’ work with the foundation opened the door for “other shooting opportunities with the St. Louis public schools, corporate clients,” and numerous other events, both large and small.
“Finally as a favor to a friend, I did a small wedding and seemed to really find my niche. So with focused passion, serious study and desire, I now specialize in wedding photography with an emphasis on gorgeous, one of a kind, wedding albums,” says Ellis! While he specializes in weddings, Ellis is still available for all of your photography needs, both large and small…
