About
Ela Çelik is a Zurich-based photographer and visual storyteller with a strong sense for movement and emotion. With a background in dance, she brings a sharp eye for body language and dynamics – making these the core of her visual work.
Her photography journey began four years ago as a press photographer, where she gained valuable experience capturing fast-paced moments and telling real-life stories under pressure.
Today, her portfolio spans portraits, food, sports, events, reportage, and documentary – always with a focus on authenticity and atmosphere.
Since September 2024, Ela has been studying for her Bachelor's degree in Design, in Visual Communication at the Zurich University of the Arts.
