The name’s Eli. I grew up on the shores of New Jersey, but now I call Philadelphia home—where all the action is. Over the years, I’ve built a reputation for creating emotionally charged, visually striking photography by merging technical precision with artistic storytelling. My work spans portraits, weddings, and events, but I also have deep experience in commercial photography, covering food, automotive, and real estate.

I never planned on becoming a photographer—it found me. A friend bought a camera on Black Friday of 2016, and we spent months experimenting. That led me to someone running a small photography business, which ultimately inspired me to get my own camera. Within a year, I was developing my own style, gaining traction on Instagram, and before I knew it, people were reaching out, ready to pay for my work.

Photography has taken me places I never imagined. I’ve been a nightclub photographer at one of the East Coast’s top clubs, capturing DJs and celebrities. I’ve shot at fashion shows from Atlantic City to Philly, shot over 160 weddings, photographed more than 150 restaurant menus, I ran my own photo/film studio, learning the ins and outs of studio photography and business operations. My work has been published in multiple magazines, and every new project adds another layer to this ever-evolving journey.

I never set out to be anything specific before photography—college dropout, bouncing from job to job, just knowing I wanted to live creatively. Now, every day, I push my boundaries, chasing adventure and passion through my lens.
