Elie is a nature lover from the UK invested in fighting for social and environmental justice. Her favorite thing to do in her free time is to immerse herself in the outdoors—with or without her camera in tow. She spends many hours in hides and outside waiting for some of her favorite species. Photography is a real escape for her — she can leave her 9-5 behind for a while and focus in on the smallest details of local ecosystems. It’s a way for her to continue educating herself and others on the ecological plight of native wildlife.
