Ellen Mitchell is an alien whose life took an unexpected turn when she was dropped from a spaceship into the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. Arriving at the New Jersey Shore on a bed of seaweed, she came face to face with the human race and has tried to hide behind a camera ever since. Her photos take an often-humorous look at the peculiarities of earthly existence, serving as a silent testament to her unique extraterrestrial perspective. Her work has been exhibited in New York, Philadelphia, and Italy, and has been published in The Guardian, Lensculture, and American Illustration - American Photography (AI-AP). She has received awards from Lensculture, the New York Center for Photographic Art, and Los Angeles Center of Photography (LACP).
