Elvina Mae Farkas, called Elly by her friends and family, is only 22 years old, but her photography has been around for a few years already. The self-taught fashion and portraiture photographer from Melbourne, Australia has been a freelance photographer since the age of 16, and the years of experience have proven to be very beneficial. The unique style and vision of her photography are evident from image to image in her impressive portfolio. Her photographs vary from formalistic color pallets and tones that could be taken from a dream to stripped down and purely expressive natural portraits. To say that her success and body of work at just 22 years of age is impressive would be an understatement yet unsurprising—since moving to Melbourne in 2009, she has shot on location for clients in Singapore, Australia, and across Europe. She is a consummate professional and a passionate artist, as the interview below will illustrate. As she prepares to launch her new media and marketing venture, Anue Management, alongside her creative partner, Lucas Malone, there is still much to look forward to from the talented young woman.
