A Walk in the Wilderness is a unique artistic collaboration between illustrator Rachel Eleanor, photographer Eley, and podcaster Marthame Sanders.

We are happy to present Eley’s narrative photoshoot with illustrator Rachel Eleanor, which Rachel has adapted with her usual flair and humor.

Eley captured the essence of both entrepreneur Melinda Weekes-Laidlow and actor Sekou Laidlow in this narrative photo shoot.

Eley captured some of the magic that is Melinda Weekes-Laidlow in this narrative photo shoot with the pastor/entrepreneur.

Beautiful Ventures is the brainchild of entrepreneur Melinda Weekes-Laidlow. Eley photographed their inaugural event.

Juilliard-trained actor and minister Sekou Laidlow sat down for a narrative photo shoot with Eley, bringing his energy to life.

Eley captured host Marthame Sanders in his home studio for this narrative photo shoot, with a special cameo from Marthame’s family.

Eley photographed Aisha Brooks-Lytle (Presbytery of Greater Atlanta) in and around her home, with her family popping in for a moment or two.

Myles Markham is a deeply thoughtful individual. Eley managed to capture this, but also Myles’ playful side, in this narrative photo shoot.

We had such an amazing conversation and experience with musician Julian Reid that we wanted Eley to do her photography magic with him and his keyboard.

For our first anniversary, artist Darci Jaret played guest host to interview Marthame. Eley captured some behind the scenes shots of that conversation.

Pastor and artist Darci Jaret has an incredible combination pastoral office and art studio, which provided a great backdrop for Eley’s photo shoot.

Dana Montlack’s fine art photography was the perfect backdrop for this Eley photo shoot in Dana’s home.
