Elena Escobedo Photography

Photography – Seattle

Raised in Austin, TX where girls grow big and sassy, Elena has since fled to the blue toned lands of the PNW where the trees are big and inspiring. From small beginnings with a point-and-shoot camera she learned all a suburban raised girl could learn about photography, using herself for self-portraits (the word "selfie" had yet to rear it's ugly head) and being inspired of the world of flickr. She slowly upgraded cameras throughout the years, appreciating what each new camera had to offer. Recently, Elena has taken up videography work and enjoys watching movies just for their composition. Video is a lot like photography (or as she prefers to think of video as that of the photos in Harry Potter), and she's excited to use her knowledge from photography to transfer over in the world of cinematography. Her desire is to create more than she consumes, which is sometimes very difficult in the society we live in. She wishes to find the whimsical beauty in the world, and to capture the magic, even for a moment.
