AUTHOR: Elli Asker (Sweden)

Based in Sweden. I have lived and worked in Spain, Russia and the USA and combine travel with a passion for photography. I studied with Dimitri Bogachuk at Kiev's School of Photography, in the Ukraine, and completed a BA in Political Science at Södertörn University, Sweden. I am an advocate for the positive influence which creative practice can have. My own story is one of immigration prompted by traumatic persecution in my home country and photography has been a way to cope with anxiety and the effects of PTSD.

My photographs are influenced by both classical cinema and painting, reflecting the color fields of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and Expressionist artists along with the sophisticated aesthetics of directors such as Tarkovsky, Bergman, Fellini and Almodovar. In my work I seek to create photographs that can communicate the emotion associated with our shared experiences, building a connection with the viewer.
