Elizabeth Solaka

Elizabeth Solaka creates portraits on medium format film using a Hasselblad. She photographs artists, authors, and executives seeking portraits with presence and character. Families have also entrusted her to photograph everyone from newborns to the oldest generation.

Her work draws on the portrait tradition associated with the fashion portraiture of Irving Penn and the direct human observation that defines the photography of Diane Arbus. Working in natural environments, studios, and on the streets of New York, she creates film portraits for editorial, personal, and commissioned projects. Portrait sessions are accepted on a limited basis each season.
