Biography
I'm Stephanie, also known as Eley ("ee-Lee"), the creative force behind Eley Photo LLC in Atlanta, Georgia. Standing tall at 6 feet with a contagious laugh and an empathetic spirit, I bring a unique approach to photography shaped by a childhood spent observing people and guided deeply by my family's ethos of community healing.
My journey led me to earn my MFA from SCAD Atlanta in 2015, a transformative moment in my artistic evolution. At Eley Photo, I challenge stereotypes and amplify voices often overlooked. Renowned for my meticulous attention to detail and innovative use of artistic lighting, I specialize in capturing the essence of celebrities and healthcare moments alike.
In the entertainment industry, I apply my stylized creativity to unveil the essence of celebrities, revealing their personality with every click. This approach seamlessly extends to healthcare photography, where I passionately capture moments that unveil the resilience and humanity in medical settings.
Beyond photography, I'm passionate about holistic medicine and creative leadership, enriching my artistic vision and guiding my mission to advocate for underrepresented communities. My experiences have taught me the power of empathy, resilience, and art to ignite meaningful conversations.
In essence, Eley Photo LLC is a catalyst for social impact and personal empowerment. It's where creativity intersects with advocacy, each photograph telling a story of strength, identity, and the universal pursuit of justice and equality.

“Stephanie (Eley) is fantastic at her craft, and her personality makes you feel like you’re working with a friend you’ve known forever. She was recommended to work with for some headshots I needed for work. She was fun and a total pro during the entire session. The portraits she took, I felt, captured what I wanted and who I am - all a result of her attentiveness and skill. I really enjoyed working with her and will do so again at my next opportunity. She’s a genuine soul who has a gift of a true artist.”

“I am an actor and model. I needed pictures for my portfolio. I was recommended Eley’s name through a friend of mine that had hired her, and they had a glowing review. Below are the reasons I loved working with Eley! Short review of Eley and my experience as a whole:
1. Professional, humble, warm, and electric personality. She made me feel like I made a new friend.
1a. Captured “me” in a photograph. She gently directed me to be authentic - talk, laugh, and think about different scenarios. They were not just stereotypical magazine model looks. Very few photographers take the time to find that.
2. Listened to my photo needs while also delivering additional options that Blew. Me. Away!
3. Her studio has everything. It is spacious, clean, and packed with every piece of equipment necessary for my photos.
4. The price she charged was reasonable, I felt it was extremely fair. (Get in now before she is in even more of a demand that the price goes up - no joke, I mean it)
5. Special highlight: I told her my wants for my photos and to make those wants a reality - she built a custom 10x20 lightbox that made the most beautiful light for my shoot.
Hire her. I really could go on and on. I had the most amazing time. Eley is a beautiful and compassionate person that works hard to go above and beyond for her clients. Hope this helps with your decision!”

She easily became my favorite photographer to work with. We produced the best images in my book and I would highly recommend her to any model with the opportunity! Looking forward to future collaborations.”
