I created @elladelarte when I thought starting wasn’t possible for me. It became proof that it’s never too late to begin your own story.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I create fashion and editorial photography that captures emotion, identity and movement. Im drawn to storytelling through light, texture, and the energy of runway and real moments.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in people, fashion culture and the quiet in between moments. New York streets, backstage energy, and personal experiences shape how I see and frame stories.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in expanding my creative work, upgrading equipment, producing editorial shoots and building platform to amplify my voice. I’d also love to invest in courses and further education to gain new tools, refine my craft, and continue growing as an artist. I deeply believe that education and passion are the key. I’d create to collaborate and tell stories that deserve to be seen.
