ELENAVALLI
Photographs of people,
places and everything
that happens in between.
Photography has always been my way of slowing down time. I photograph people as they are — their gestures, connections, imperfections and the quiet moments that usually disappear too quickly.

Amalfi,
Summer ’25
A collection of quiet mornings, warm streets and moments discovered along the Italian coast. A diary of salt, stone and the kind of summer that stays with you.

What I Photograph
Behind the lens
Hi, I’m Elena.
I’m a photographer based in southern Brazil, drawn to natural light, imperfect moments and people with stories to tell.
My work moves between portraits, editorials, weddings and places I’ve been lucky enough to discover. I don’t believe photographs need to be perfect. I believe they need to feel real.
