London and Cornwall-based Annabel Elston is a flaneur, capturing the private moments that appear in public places. Her photographs reveal her working method as much as they reveal her subjects--she quietly wanders the streets, capturing people unaware. Elston's subjects are seductive, their anonymity enviable. Through the photographs, we politely invade their sleeping thoughts as they prepare to rise.In addition to portraits, Elston photographs still lifes, interiors and reportage. Her editorial work has been included in "The World of Interiors," "House and Garden," "Observer" magazine and "Japanese Vogue." She has received advertising commissions from Hermes, Habitat, Volvo and Guinness and has contributed to publications such as "Pure Fuel" and "Surface Contemporary Photography." In 2007, the British Council commissioned her to photograph 40 British nationals living in Turkey, resulting in her first exhibition, with shows scheduled for London and Turkey.
