About Elena Vels

Elena Vels
CREATIVE COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHER

Early on in life, I developed a sophisticated visual taste. Being born into a family of musicians has cultivated my own creative ambitions. My degree in Advertising and Public Relations, mixed with music and science studies, became the ideal formula for such a technical, precise field as product photography. Mixing my education and Eastern European cultural background, I have developed a compound and strong sense of style. To continually fuel my inspiration, I rooted my photography studio in New York City.

 

Whether a brand is a startup or globally known, quality aesthetics are essential for any company — they are the business card of their brand’s success. I’ll use my passion and knowledge of the technical aspect of product photography to capture consistent, high-quality content. My mission is to ensure the product stands out by emphasizing its best features in photography while staying true to its ethos all along the way.
