What I do
Brand lookbooks
Quiet, precise lookbooks that let the garment carry the frame.
Portrait sessions
Studied, unhurried portraits in studio or on location.
Motion & reel
Short film and social reels shot with a photographer's eye for the still.
How I work
Twelve years behind the lens taught me one thing: the strongest image is the one where nothing is forced.
Shoot less, mean more
A focused edit of twelve frames outlasts a memory card of eight hundred. Every delivered image earns its place.
Film first
Most personal work starts on film. It slows the eye down and keeps the color honest when we move to digital.
Calm sets
No shouting, no chaos. A quiet set gets honest expressions — and honest expressions are the whole point.

Kata Klien
“Elias arrived with a plan and left with the only images we actually used. Nothing wasted.”
Chiara Bellandi
Art Director, Odeur Milano
“The quietest set I've ever been on, and the calmest pictures. Our S/S 26 campaign owes him.”
Tomás Ribeiro
Creative Director, Atelier Sul
“He shot our cover in an afternoon. We spent a week choosing one frame out of twelve perfect ones.”
Marta Ferreira
Photo Editor, Revista Norte
“Backstage with Elias feels like documentary, not production. The models forget the camera exists.”
Giulia Sarti
Casting Director, Milano
“Rare combination: a photographer who works like an editor. Every frame already knows where it lives.”
Daniel Okonkwo
Editor-in-Chief, Fold Journal
Let's make something quiet and loud at once.
