(NOTE: My last photo was posted on May 2007, since then I have continued to take dance photographs and work with some truly amazing dancers and performers. I am currently working on a website where I hope to post a portfolio of my current work in the near future http://www.ellacooper.com . The following bio was written quite some time ago, but it represents why I decided to have a dance photoblog when I first began photographing dance.)

In a nutshell, after graduating with a BFA in New Media (with a minor in Photography) I worked in the television and film industry for a couple of years before directing my career towards the celebration and promotion of the arts. During this time I only occassionally picked up my camera until last year when I began working for a dance company and discovered a love for dance photography.

This photo blog is my way of getting feedback from YOU and trying to develop my abilities further. I welcome your thoughts, tips and perspectives on the work I post for this blog.

Have a great day!
