Reckless by Elizabeth Cole
Skyspark Books

My photography is about building moving narratives and creating characters. My photographs are about mixing the fictional with the world we know. I am interested in the transformation of the human form and storytelling.

From monsters to heroes to author portraits, my photography is all about telling interesting stories with compelling characters.

My photography has been published in magazines, newspapers, journals, blogs, book covers and book-jackets. I have photographed happy couples, authors, actors, game designers and artists.

: This is from a series of photos I took called “Blood and Sand” I wanted to give the feeling of an entire story behind one image, the implication of a story, as if you are looking at a movie still from a film that was never made.
