Monte “Delan” Ellis, Photographer, Video Producer and owner of Echo Exposure. Born in Baltimore, my father always took pictures. He wasn’t a professional, but I’m still able to look back at the memories that were captured. After graduating in Norfolk, VA, I remember looking through a photo album that I had put together as the years went by. From baby pictures to high school graduation, I loved reflecting on my journey. Toward the end of my retirement from the U.S. Air Force, I decided to take more of a serious approach to photography. Throughout my career I was known for having a camera, documenting various moments with family and friends. It was always fun looking at the pictures or video after all the fun, it made for even more laughter!
As I business owner I quickly realized the need for photos/videos that help reach potential clients. People want to connect with the person behind the brand and that led me to focusing on helping others build their brands and businesses. Headshots are a basic need for any business, but allow us to capture you and your team in a way that connects with your supporters with our professional branding sessions. Capturing client testimonials are another awesome way to reach new clients. Connect with us so we can get your business legacy solidified!
Many of my business clients have turned into clients wanting me to capture the personal side of their lives so I ended up capturing birthdays, save the dates, anniversaries and other life events. I love finding the beauty in all things! I get the biggest rush reviewing an image I took of a person that didn’t believe they were photogenic and watching them see themselves in a whole new light. Everyone deserves to have their story captured so they can later look back on that moment and smile! Lets get you booked!
