ELSA YOUNG
Lifestyle photographer
With Johannesburg as my home base, I circle the globe photographing everything from interiors to food, gardens to architecture, and people to travel.
My formal career began back in London in 1999, but my love of capturing the world was founded as a child when I was seldom far from a camera. I have always found delight in the wonder and magic of colour, space, nature, art and design.
My clients include international publications, interior designers, architects, hotels, lodges, restaurants and image libraries.
I love to photograph beautiful things, magnificent spaces and spectacular places.
