SELF PORTRAIT, 2025
Ellie Applegate is a British photographer who embraces the act of play and performance within the construction of her photographs. She combines concept, imagination and experimentation into her creative process and uses her imagery as a way to create unusual scenes, leaving the viewer with intrigue and a want to search for the context.
Ellie uses her practice as an outlet to come to terms with the world around her, contemplating larger questions of belonging whilst also exploring a deep connection with where she comes from. She applies a positive outlook to the work, even when depicting hardship and uses play and imagination to feel empowered, hoping that the work might have this same effect on those who connect with it.
