Gabriel Ellison-Scowcroft is a photographer, radio producer and writer originally from Quebec, Canada, but currently based in San Diego, California. After graduating from journalism school in Montreal and working for CBC Radio, Gabriel moved to New York City and then Southern California to pursue freelance photojournalism and radio producing. He has worked on a wide-array of stories, from investigative projects exploring student homelessness in San Diego County to long-term documentary storytelling projects such as “Las Vegas, New Mexico” to podcasts about indigenous perspectives on public land. Gabriel is particularly interested in the intersection of documentary photography and exhaustive historical research and how these two disciplines can be used to better understand contemporary realities.
Las Vegas, New Mexico is a place that is rooted in a complex linguistic and cultural history where the boundaries of identity are fluid and intricate, but it is also as American as any small town in the country.
