Ellen Rogers is a fashion and fine art photographer and printer. She specialises in analogue processes, including traditional darkroom techniques and intaglio etching. Her work is known for its focus on craft, materiality, and the emotional depth in fashion imagery. Ellen’s commercial and editorial clients include Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar China, Vice, Tank, i-D, Alice Temperley, and Charlotte Olympia. She has also led campaigns for major cultural institutions such as the Ashmolean Museum and the Smithsonian.

Ellen’s photographs have been exhibited internationally, including as part of #209 Women at the Houses of Parliament. She regularly collaborates with museums and archives to explore the material histories of photography. She is a proud trade unionist and Senior Lecturer in Photography at Ravensbourne University, London.

She graduated with an MA from Goldsmiths College in 2007 and is completing a PhD at Central Saint Martins. Her research centres on the overlooked labour of darkroom printers in fashion photography, combining oral histories, archival research, and practical experimentation to document the material and emotional processes behind uncredited photographic labour. She is a founding member of the photographic research group CRUX.

Ellen has presented at The Photographers’ Gallery and the British Journal of Photography and is a judge for the Women in Photography Spotlight at the Royal Photographic Society Awards. The film and photography company ORWO currently sponsors her and auctions her work monthly to raise funds for progressive and humanitarian causes.
