Ellen Friedlander

Ellen Friedlander is a lens-based artist bridging urban landscapes and intimate portraits. Raised in New York’s Adirondack Mountains and later shaped by years living in multiple U.S. cities. She went on to spend more than a decade raising her family in Hong Kong, a city that profoundly influenced her street photography and established her professional technical repertoire. Using a range of in-camera and post-processing collage, Friedlander builds photographs that are layered, expressive, and psychologically resonant. Her work has been shown in numerous exhibitions, including at L’étrangère Gallery in London, SASSE Museum, and MOAH Lancaster.
