Low tide at dusk, the flats going silver. A long exposure on a small tripod.

About

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

I’m Mara Ellison, a photographer working mostly at the edges of the day — first light, last light, fog that hasn’t decided yet. I shoot landscape and quiet, unpeopled places, largely on film.

This site is a folder of images and text on a domain I own. No gallery platform sits in the middle; the work is just files, and it stays mine. Prints are made to order, and I take a small number of commissions each season — the contact page is the way in.

For prints, commissions, or licensing, email mara@example.com. I read everything and reply within a few days.

There’s no form here — a static site has no server to take one, which is rather the point. If a form is ever needed, it’s an embed from a service like Tally or Formspree; the page stays static either way.
