Katie West is a photographer living in Toronto.
May was a busy month for Ellen Stagg. Stagg, photographer behind erotica site Stagg Street, not only opened her first solo show, but also released her first book. When we meet up at Fuse Gallery, she runs in a few minutes late, long platinum hair flying behind her.
Stagg’s been shooting since she was 16. She studied art at SVA, went clubbing with Scarlett Johanssen, and developed a name shooting editorial and fashion. But she was always drawn to the erotic. Starting with her muse Justine Joli, Stagg developed a name for herself shooting intimate, sundrenched nude portraits of adult models, and posting them on her website Stagg Street. This outlet has garnered international exposure, including a documentary series on IFC.com .
