Hi! I’m Eleanor, a Chicago native and a recent grad from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I’ve always been drawn to the way visual art can evoke a genuine emotional response. What started as a summer hobby with a film camera before college has become a full-blown passion for photography, videography, and creative direction. I’m drawn to the way visuals can tell stories, spark emotion, and help us remember how a moment felt. Whether through still images or motion, I love creating work that people can reflect on and gain a deeper understanding of themselves.

Right now, I’m exploring how photography, video, and music can come together to tell honest stories. I’ve been freelancing, collaborating with friends, and reaching out to creatives to keep learning and growing. Every project teaches me something new, and I’m always looking for ways to create work that’s beautiful and meaningful.

I’m here to make the ordinary feel cinematic, to document the things that matter, and to help people see themselves and their emotions in a new light.

Thanks for being here. I can’t wait to keep creating, capturing, and sharing all the coming moments. If you’re building something and want to express it visually, I’d love to help you tell your story.

Best,

Eleanor Faye Vanecko
