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.

  • Thanks, Pat!! I’m so glad you like it! It was a hair-raising drive along the coast road with all that fog, but it was worth it for the incredible view!

    Before reading, I knew this was California… I love the fog and composition.

  • Very kind of you, John!! I know there must be a million photos of this area! Fortunately not many were on the road at this early hour :))))
