## Meet Eley

Stephanie “Eley” (pronounced "ee-Lee") is the creative force behind Eley Photo LLC, a portrait studio based in Atlanta, Georgia.**
Standing tall at 6 feet with a contagious laugh and an empathetic presence, Eley brings a unique eye to portrait photography — shaped by a childhood of observing people deeply, and a family legacy rooted in community healing.

Eley’s work sits at the intersection of commercial storytelling and cultural care. Whether photographing celebrities or capturing quiet, powerful moments in healthcare settings, she uses vibrant lighting, rich tones, and emotional honesty to celebrate humanity — especially in spaces where it’s often overlooked.

With an MFA from SCAD Atlanta and a decade of experience, her work has served clients like UPS, Delta, and The Shepherd Center. But no matter the scale, her mission stays the same: to create imagery that builds empathy, honors identity, and ignites meaningful conversations.

Beyond the lens, Eley is passionate about holistic healing, creative leadership, and making space for artists to lead with both vision and voice. Her workshops are a reflection of that ethos — inviting others to show up, share boldly, and build community through visual storytelling.
