What started as a hobby fifteen years ago - an instinct to notice light, framing, and the soul of a space - gradually became something brands and partners couldn’t ignore. Without any formal training, she built her practice through curiosity, a consistent point of view, and work that spoke for itself.

Over the past decade, Elissa has shot for global brands across hospitality, food and beverage, fashion, and events. Her approach is personal and present. She brings the same sensibility to any presentation: a genuine interest in what makes a place or moment worth remembering.

That instinct carries directly into her work as a New York City real estate agent. Placemaking is at the heart of both, understanding not just how something looks, but how it feels to be inside it. Whether she’s scouting a location or showing a property, Elissa is always reading the room.

She is based in New York and available for brand, travel, and event work worldwide.
