Peterborough Photographer Ellen Bond Is A Star On The Rise

Peterborough photographer Ellen Bond is drawing rave reviews for her photography, including a powerful photo, "Movement", she took in Dundas Square in Toronto of Curve Lake's Leslie McCue (see below) and Lindy Kinosameg.

"I wanted to show the juxtaposition of traditional First Nation beliefs and the chaos of today," Ellen tells PTBOCanada, adding that Leslie is a former student of hers at Kenner from her high school teaching days.

Bond left teaching and is currently studying photography—her passion—at Algonquin College in Ottawa. She has quickly developed into an excellent editorial and portrait photographer.

Ellen was published in the Ottawa Business Journal recently, and also got the chance to shoot for the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group (OSEG)—she was on the field for every Ottawa RedBlack game last season.

Indeed, she took these great photos below of former Crestwood student Brad Sinopoli—who plays for Ottawa in the CFL—including one with his Dad.

"Living in Peterborough inspired my photography," Ellen tells PTBOCanada. "It’s such a beautiful place and I would often wander through Jackson Park, or along other trails and take photos. When I began school at Algonquin, I wanted to be a wildlife photographer, but as I went through the courses, my passion has led me to editorial photography, with a side of portrait photography.
