Bio
Eli was named after a very friendly dog his parents came across. He was shaped by the rolling hills of Oakland, California and molded by the tall pines and prickly cactuses of Flagstaff, Arizona. Now he is in his third year at Western Washington University, studying visual journalism. He is primarily a portrait photographer. As as a photographer, Eli has been able to meet, learn about and have beautiful moments with people. He hopes to continue sharing stories.
