Biography

Hello!

Thank you for taking the time to click on this, the most boring part of my website.

I’ll try to be quick and give you the highlights:

As you’ve probably guessed by now, my name is Bobby Ellis, and I love being a photographer. I love telling stories through my photographs. The stories of my subjects, whether they be athletes, brides, newsmakers, or the everyday person. Everyone has a story to share with the world, and it’s my job to tell it.

I graduated with a degree in photojournalism from Ball State University in 2013.

From 2013-2018 I worked as a newspaper photographer and freelancer, covering local news and large sporting events for the Nebraska City News Press, the Frankfort State-Journal, the Lexington Herald-News, the Kentucky Department of Education, and Getty Images.

During that time, I photographed the Kentucky Derby, NFL games, presidential campaigns, political protests, corporate events, weddings, and more. I won multiple awards and had my photos featured by National Geographic, CNN, and the BBC.

In 2018, I returned to Ball State to become a photographer for the Marketing and Communications department. That’s where I currently sit. But don’t worry, I still find time to freelance; because I know you were very worried about that.

Please feel free to reach out.
