Behind The Lens
Ella Davies Photography is a gallery of our natural world. Where I share breathtaking photographs of nature and wildlife, focusing on our inspiring environment in its natural form.
My journey with photography began on Christmas Day when I received my first camera. This bright pink kids camera marked the start of a lifelong passion. Being able to explore the unlimited possibilities of photography, experimenting with nature and wildlife to portraits and architecture, meant the camera rarely left my hands. Overtime I outgrew the camera, but my fascination with taking photos grew stronger.
Restless on the beach, I decided to shoot the waves rolling onto the coast. They were calm as they gently crashed on shore. With the sun in my eyes I couldn’t see what I took, so I rushed to view the images and was taken back by the result. An overlooked, everyday occurrence was suddenly highlighted in detail I’d never seen before. Through my phone I was able to capture a moment of pure beauty in nature.
While my love for photography blossomed at the age of 7, my connection to nature and wildlife followed later. A cold summers day in 2016 on a trip to Brighton started it all.
This experience pulled me towards nature and wildlife. I became absorbed in what I captured, and had the urge to share it with everyone. Watching as people analysed the unseen appeal, it became more than a photo. This put me on the path to photographing our environment, in a raw and untouched state, accentuating its magnificence.
The ability to share my photographs on a larger scale, brings me a deep sense of purpose. Speaking out for nature and wildlife through images that grab you, where you’re left thinking about it hours later, is what drives me. My mission is dedicated to photographing common ecosystems that are under-appreciated and unloved, to unimaginable hidden wonders. Proving that every part of the world holds unique brilliance.
