The Tresco Journal

Ellie lives on Tresco with partner Sam and her two children, Jude and Etta. She has recently turned her passion for photography into a part-time profession, and says of her journey:

'In early 2020, heavily pregnant and negotiating the strangeness of a world growing more unrecognisable by the day, I put my feelers out on social media to see if anyone would be interested in buying a calendar - both a passion project and an insurance policy in an uncertain time financially.

I was overwhelmed by the positive response.By the summer I was selling calendars, notecards and postcards both online and on my home island of Tresco and as the year progressed Iwas lucky enough to work freelance with a handful of local businesses too. It’s hard to imagine, just one year on, that it all started from an Instagram Story.'
