About Ellen Cotton

I moved to California from Canada and the colours of this lush landscape never cease to inspire me. To me a photograph is just the beginning of a work of art and I love to bring out the feeling of a subject through textures, layers and manipulations. I use black & white either to create a mood or to enhance the emphasis on the form of the subject. I also professionally restore old photographs and can be contacted by email for any requests in this regard.

    No to sure what you did with this, E, but man does it look good !! :)

  • Thanks, Stan! I almost didn’t upload it, ‘cause I wasn’t sure I liked the result or not. I basically desaturated and added a gold/orange filter. the original is very colorful but doesn’t capture the mood I felt when taking the shot. This part of Hawaii is kind of desolate – lots of open space, stark landscape, lava rock…
