We are happy to introduce Ella Manor, talented photo-artist from Israel, who've recently joined BSW.

Ella is a fashion photographer and contemporary artist who’s graduated Fashion Institute of Technology. She creates inspirational imagery that coalesces fashion with fine art.  Using color, light and photo manipulation, she creates film-like whimsical stories that are both playful and intelligent.

Her art makes the viewer follow her into a mysterious world that is sometimes dark, yet always visually and emotionally demanding. Ella’s self portraits are full of multifaceted range of emotions and passions.  This is her way of exploring a personal world. Her fashion works are provocative -  they go beyond the "standard" concepts by challenging the viewer to cast aside preconceived notions.

Ella believes that style is not something one can get.  If you have it, it's a matter of refining it by experimentation.  The goal is to push the limits and create something different that the viewer wouldn't be able to see anywhere else.

Ella’s work has been widely recognized internationally within the fashion and art industries in USA, Australia, Milan, Paris and China. Her work has won numerous international awards including the Master's Cup in the Fashion Category in 2009, Black and White Spider Awards in 2010.  She is a winner of the 2008 Prix de la Photographie Paris in both beauty and self portraiture categories. Articles about her were published among others in Harper's Bazaar, Digital Photo Pro, Double Exposure, After Capture, and Black and White magazine.
