ATARAXIEL
behind the brand
welcome to my world.
ataraxiel was born from a combination of my favorite word & concept, and my nickname. (ataraxia + el).
ataraxia (greek: ἀταραξία) refers to a state of serene calmness, "unperturbedness," or peace of mind, free from worry, fear, and emotional distress. It signifies an inner tranquility unaffected by external circumstances.
the inspiration behind my work stems from this concept; quieting the outer world and its' chaos, to turn up the volume of our inner world.
i'm glad you're here! i'm el :)
i am a photographer and creative, but more than that, i'm a lover of living. i create visual stories rooted in movement, emotion, and presence - work that reflects the rhythms of life.
my craft is guided by a deep appreciation for connection, community, and the natural world around us. whether through music, branding, the equestrian world, or everyday moments, i'm drawn to capture what feels alive, authentic, and in motion.
ataraxiel is a world where these stories are given space to exist and flourish, and i welcome you to it. if you're here to book, collaborate, connect, or simply look around, i hope it meets you with inspiration, and a sense of belonging.
