Episode 17 - Ellen Virgona

This episode features Ellen Virgona, a Sydney-born photographer.
Ellen has been a photographer for over a decade now and has a way of capturing small moments and gestures we often take for granted or turn a blind eye to in our day-to-day lives. We discuss why these moments are so real and honest, and just how Ellen formed her own style.
We also discuss her early influences from film and David Lynch, her upbringing in Sydney, how she found her way into photography, her 'Four Seasons' book release from last year, grief, and more.
A quote Ellen said on this episode that I think is worth reciting is "if you stick with something long enough, you eventually become part of it."
Much love to Ellen again for being down, enjoy!
