Team Elledge is excited to invite you to a special opening tomorrow evening displaying two of Paul’s images. ”Test Shot: Unintended Portraits” is an exhibition that celebrates photography that missed the mark and was until now, unworthy of display. Please join us!

Team Elledge has always had a love for Italy and now we have a new Italian Home! Well, at least a home for all of Paul’s Italian images. lunabellaluna.com is the new internet home for the work Paul has created on his many journeys to Italy. We are excited to launch this view into Paul’s love of all things Italy as seen through his eye.

Team Elledge recently took a little road trip to the Louisiana Bayou. We made many new friends, ate tasty local foods, and enjoyed the southern culture. Relive our trip as you review the images!

For many years now Team Elledge has taught photographic workshops in various locations around the world. Taking a week out of one’s busy life to devote focused time on creativity, craft and self discovery is a true treat.
Toscana Photographic Workshops provides an exceptional experience to every one attending. The combination of Italy being one of Paul’s passions and the experience of teaching there for over 10 years gives students a rare personal educational and cultural experience not to mention that it is an ideal environment for studying by his side. Together the exploration of pushing creative boundaries and creating images using the stunning settings, people and beautiful light is simply magical.
Treat yourself to a trip, an education and the chance to be inspired to create new and more powerful photographs this summer!

Team Elledge had the great pleasure of working with the spirited Roger Ebert many times through the years. He was a pleasure to work with for many reasons. First, we always learned from his vast knowledge of not only film but life itself. He was very honest, open and kind. Roger was always a good sport for Paul’s creative ideas and enjoyed the process of collaboration. The world will certainly miss this great man, and his ability to share his wisdom in a clear and articulate manner.
Paul made many portraits of Roger for magazines and other publications. This particular image was created for WIRED magazine and gave Paul the opportunity to create a more narrative portrait. Paul multi-exposed on 2 1/4 B&W film projected images from some classic movies, a drawing of a movie projector, and portraits taken at the CBS studios on B&W Polapan film. For those of you that sadly never worked with Polapan, it was an amazing B/W instant transparency film produced by Polaroid. It had a lustful tonal scale and sharpness that was in a league of it’s own.
Paul used slide projectors to project the four movie images onto curved white tubes in order to bend the images. He re-photographed the Polapan portraits of Roger and the projector diagram as flat art work. This multi-exposed image was created using 5 Hasselblads to combine the five sets onto one frame of film. It was totally created “Old School” without electronic aid.
For Team Elledge this image celebrates both the genuine love for life Roger had, as well as his great mind and intellectual knowledge as film critic, writer, and teacher.
