Ellen Stagg

Erotic photographer Ellen Stagg is well-known for shooting the world’s most beautiful people, but it’s her seductive glorification of the nude female form that has brought the Brooklyn-based artist the most attention: “I love empowering women, celebrating and collaborating with them through my photography.” Raised in Connecticut, Stagg took up photography in high school, graduating with a BFA in Photography from New York City’s prestigious School of Visual Arts. She gained a solid reputation shooting actors, musicians and sports stars for mainstream publications such as Life, Vibe, Interview, Maxim, Flaunt, I-D and Teen Vogue before shooting sexually-explicit content for adult starJustine Joli in 2005. In 2016 Stagg released her first erotic photo book Dirty Girl Collection.
