Interview with Ellen Friedlander

This month we spoke with a kind and talented artist, Ellen Friedlander, who uses photography as a medium. Her story is a fascinating one. You may have heard part of it in a recent podcast we published called Community is Key. But this time we dive even deeper, getting to know not only Ellen’s background, but also her artistic techniques.

At the young age of 22, Ellen already knew photography was what she wanted to do. She worked for photographers and as a photographer in many different capacities and soaked up all the knowledge along the way. Even when she found herself raising her kids in far off Hong Kong, the camera was always a part of her life.

More recently, Ellen has found a fascinating way to express what she sees on the street. Her “Extended Stories” feature multiple street shots compiled into one unified story. These images are fascinating. In fact, it’s hard to take your eyes off of them.

Join us as we explore some of Ellen’s Extended Stories, a few of her street images, and her learning process throughout her nearly lifelong journey as a photographer.

Ellen Friedlander

Ellen Friedlander is a Los Angeles artist who uses a variety of in-camera and post processing techniques to reveal the unpredictable, idiosyncratic, inscrutable nature of the human condition. Friedlander first found her passion for photography when she was 16 years old and took to the street while at Ithaca College where she received a BFA in Art and a minor in Photography. After many decades of working for commercial photographers Friedlander started to focus more on her personal vision. And after raising her children in Hong Kong for a decade and a half she moved to Los Angeles in 2018 to embrace her passion and find community. Friedlander has been an Advisor for Pasadena Photography Arts since 2019 for which she curates and hosts for Open Show/Pasadena/East LA. Pasadena Photography Arts (PPA) promotes diverse photography projects and panel discussions around the photographic medium by established and emerging photographers worldwide through Open Show and FORUM virtual events. She has been featured in Lenscratch, The Hand Magazine, and as guest artist on The Candid Frame podcast, Episode #499. During March-April, 2021, three of Friedlander’s photographs from her "Betrayal” series were in a group show at Austin Desmond Fine Art in London. During that same time, she had her first solo show at The Photographer's Eye Gallery in Escondido, CA in which she exhibited her "Extended Frame™" body of work. Friedlander ended 2021 with a feature in the LA Weekly, Meet an Artist Monday. In January 2022, was invited to join the newly formed Los Angeles Street Collective sponsored by LACP.
