Hi everyone! I’m Eleanor Vanecko — or Ellie. I was born and raised on the North Side of Chicago, Illinois. Film photography has taught me to slow down and truly appreciate the beauty in the world around me. From the moment I picked up a film camera the summer before college, I fell in love with capturing fleeting moments in a creative, nostalgic way.

Photography quickly became more than a hobby — it opened up a world of creativity, storytelling, and connection. Alongside my love for film, I’m passionate about fashion, styling, and the behind-the-scenes magic of photoshoots. Whether curating looks, scouting locations, or working on creative direction, I find so much joy in bringing a vision to life.

Over the past few years, I’ve continued to explore and experiment, always looking for new ways to express emotion and style through my lens. Film has a way of turning ordinary moments into something cinematic — and that’s exactly what I hope to do for you.

Thanks for being here. I’m so excited to share this journey and all the special moments ahead.

With love,
Eleanor Faye
