About Ellen
I create intimate floral photography —
not to reflect reality,
but to express a sensation.
For as long as I can remember,
my vision has been out of focus.
Without correction,
my world becomes colour, light, shapes, and movement —
a softer way of seeing,
where intuition takes over,
where feeling comes before clarity.
Perhaps mindfulness already exists there —
in the act of pausing,
of paying attention,
of choosing to hold onto a moment.
This way of experiencing the world
is deeply rooted in who I am.
"Flowers have always been silent messengers of emotion.”
Ellensuugh 
Flowers,
with their fleeting beauty and silent intensity,
became a language —
a way to translate emotions
that cannot always be put into words.
They carry light, fragility, strength, and presence all at once.
Small worlds,
holding something universal.
”In color and light, flowers celebrate life.”

This is how my work takes shape.
Deliberately using only a mobile device,
through petals, colour, and light,
I create what I like to call
floral emotions —
small intimate universes,
where feeling becomes visible.
A way of seeing.
A way of feeling.
A way of holding onto what matters.
Pause, breathe, reflect 🌿

Each month, I choose a photo featuring a flower or composition that moved me and share it with you by e-mail.
Floral emotions, shared gently —
because you deserve them.
A quieter background story
Born in the Netherlands, surrounded by vast flower fields for half of the year, Ellen only realised how deeply flowers belonged to her world once she left them behind.
After years working in printing and publishing, photography entered her life gradually — first through mobile photography, then through the intimate world of macro florals.
What began as curiosity slowly became a visual language.
During the 2020 lockdown, spending long hours photographing flowers in the garden profoundly shaped her artistic approach —
deepening her sensitivity to light, texture, movement, and emotion.
Today, her work is shared both online and through physical exhibitions,
bridging the space between digital intimacy and tangible presence.
