Getting to Know Elle Schorr

I’ve been looking at the world through a camera lens since about 1970. I seem to see more clearly with a camera in my hands, and look continually for an unexpected moment, a contradiction, a contrast between two cultures or times, telling a story or conveying a feeling in a new way.

I am perpetually excited and refreshed by the diversity and complexity of the world of art. I love to travel, and to photograph what I see, to be out in nature or walking city streets.

Since retiring from a career as a Clinical Social Worker and moving to Lake Worth, Florida, I've made the transition to digital photography. I finally have a darkroom I can call my own, and the time to work on my images.

Recently, I’ve been exploring the possibilities of multiple images found in reflections from glass and water. Often the viewer is left with the feeling that an image was digitally altered, when in fact, there is only one image, containing multiple points of view.
