Ellery Sanchez Photography
I am a nature and landscape scenery photographer. I love to capture nature scenes to look like paintings. I was born in Puerto Rico and raised in Boston. My first years were spent exploring the arts through music and poetry.
I currently live in the North Shore Lynn area, and I travel all over to capture that perfect image. I have a passion for photography that will make you think, wonder, inspire and have you appreciate the beauty of our world. My goal is to photograph nature in its essence, showcasing New England throughout the seasons and its many beautiful locations. I aspire to show the beauty and grace of our nature, to bring awareness to the animals and locations that I capture.
What I love most about photography is the fact that it's a preserved piece of the past, looking through the lens is like looking through my soul.
My mottos are “Think, Feel, Photography” and “A picture is worth more than a thousand words”.
My photography is Simple. Affordable. Memorable.
