Eleanor Hardwick
Born Oxfordshire England 1993
Eleanor Hardwick became interested in photography at the age of twelve when she began to take photos of collectable Japanese fashion dolls, leading the hobby to progress into a passion for portraiture and fashion. Eleanor is currently studying for her A-levels whilst also working as a Freelance Photographer.
Eleanor's work embodies the idea of daydreaming the banality and routine of daily life into something more mystical, playful and beautiful; it is a reflection of a world where surrealism meets realism. Her photographs convey a juxtaposition between being lost in the world's perplexity, whilst finding beauty in all things, where a soft and whimsical romanticism meets wistfulness and yearning.
***STOP PRESS, MAY 2010 ***
