Elena Gallotta is an Italian born fine-art photographer based in Ireland.
She comes from a ballet and theatre background which strongly influences her work.
Many of her images reflect her relationship with dance and non-verbal communication itself.
Her work can often be defined as an anthropological study of the human body and it's mysterious subtle language.
Elena's way of composing a picture and working with the light is hugely inspired by her passion for paintings, especially the Old Masters.
She has been published in numerous art magazines throughout Europe.
In 2009 she went back to her first love when she was commissioned to make ''Story Of One'' a short dance film by the Irish Arts Council.
She collaborated with two major dance performers from France and the film was a very productive visual-kinetic exchange between them all.

Poi, bhè, io l'adoro."4th October, 2009

.: Mario Netta :. says:
"Immergersi nella sua arte è un viaggio senza ritorno.
Passioni, battiti, carne e sangue, muse algide e distanti, bellezza, febbre, amore, la poesia visiva di un'animo pulsante di cui, attraverso le gemme, è possibile intuirne le profonde e contorte ramificazioni.
Il manierismo tecnico è pretesto per celare, in ogni opera, il punctum che persiste in bocca, in bilico tra sensi e (ir)raziocinio.
Non semplici scatti, ma petali caduti di un unico fiore."28th September, 2009

Elizabeth Blevins says:
"Elena's photography is ..fearless. She doesn't shy away from the traditional complications in photographaphy: she emphasizes the shadows, textures, awkward lighting and unusual poses. That brazen attitude allows her to produce truly avant garde artwork in liew of the standard safe photo. She sets a wonderful example for other would-be photographers to follow"

jogorman says:
"Elena's "medicine" is a portfolio of intimate portrait images. With each and every image there appears to be an implicit trust relationship with the subject, this sets her work aside from those of most other portrait photographers. Her command of light and colour is superior and as such is a source of inspiration in my own quest to be a better portrait photographer. I expect to see her work in The Irish Times' supplements in 2009."

giusvio says:
"Una dei miei artisti preferiti su Flickr.
Foto magnetiche, a volte noir, rivelano, direbbe Vinicio, un'inquietudine sottile.
Ancor più sorprendenti alla luce della "gioventù" nel campo della fotografia, e non solo, di Elena."13th January, 2009

Mirko Macari says:
"Da quando guardo le foto di Elena ho scoperto l'esistenza della foto "magnetica": lo sguardo è l'assoluto protagonista del suo stream."

Moondancer (sounds and visions) says:
"Here's a great exemple
of how a real talented woman
can improve her techniques
and become a respected artist
in a very short time...
It needs a deep and rare
sensitiveness to what she's doing.
When i saw her early picture
i was sure she were going
to free all her great talent.
So here's a wonderful gallery
of stunning dreamy visions.
And God only knows what she'll
show in the future to us all...
Take a long time to visit her stream.
Try to see behind her images,
ask yourself to enter inside every tale...
A whole magical world is waiting for you..."24th October, 2008

Anima Fotografie says:
"As talented as she is beautiful. Her images prove yet again that less really is more. Images strangely pared down to the essence of truth & beauty. I am inspired by your work Elena. I really must drop by more often..."

"I love her black and white photos- they are pure myth! You haven´t got any chance to get out of them without encountering a glimps of your own mystical existence. Venture out of your common view and feel self-reflective contemplation!"
