Greenroom Festival 2012 lead up

I am so pumped to be invited back to Greenroom Festival in Yokohama, JP this May 19-20th!
It will be my 4th Greenroom and my 2nd personal works exhibiting amongst the other artists. I have always been blessed going and shooting for The Critical Slide Society (TCSS), for their blog and other events we do in the 2 weeks we are in Japan.
Every year I go to Japan I gain more amazing new friends from all around the world. Those friendships I hold very closely still to this day......


My trip to California in 3 weeks is going to give me some fresh new pictures for my show. Pretty darn excited. I basically go to Cali for 2 weeks (which is already jammed packed with fun), fly to Melbourne for 3 days seeing family, back to Sydney for a week to get my photos ready and printed, then head to Tokyo, frame my prints over there, hang the show, sing karaoke and have some beers! 


I'm all set.


Here's my write up in Japanese on the Greenroom website-

Here's my write-up in English via google translate- its pretty hilarious,


El Green is people obsessed with travel photographer, and blogger, frequent. She isthe mecca of Australia - are living in Bondi Beach there is a relaxed and easygoinglife. El is the viewpoint of rough, raw, which is fair.
It is said that "capture the side of the truth of the material always" she.
Young people were taken in recent years, but she is well known that the surf and skatephotos, etc., of the journey
That praise in the fashion and portrait.

I'm very happy to say I have been chosen to be a Featured Artist and Guest Blogger for Volcomunity! I've been doing some Photo Tees for Mens and Womens ranges, plus blogging twice a month about the happenings in Sydney. I have always loved Volcom since I was a little teenager and even owned a few 'featured artist' tees myself, so to now be one has ticked off a nice box in my book!


Here's a little interview I did with Volcom back in Feb-

February 7th, 2012

Elle Green is a bright young thing that sits on the other side of the fence when you’re wondering what life is like in the other pasture. She’s vivacious, clever creative and she’s Volcomunity’s guest blogger. We caught up with her and chatted about jazz, being eight and everything else that attracts the people creative to this indigo child.

Volcom: Hey, Hey! So Elle, how’s things?

Elle Green: Life. Is. Good.

Volcom: What makes life good for Elle Green?

Elle Green: Lots of work! I feel my best when I’m incredibly busy. I like having things to look forward to, and there’s lots of that lately!

Volcom:…like me interviewing you?

Elle Green: Heck yes

Volcom: Moving all that excitment to the side for a second, what are some of the other thing you are working on and looking forward to?

Elle Green: Ha. Well besides all this incredible Volcom biz I’m involved in, I have an exciting job coming up where I’m shooting doco style stills supporting an article on Deus ex Machina and Ducati motorbikes with a French music producer/manager and former motorbike test driver. The only motorbike I’ve ever been on is on the back of my older brother’s 150cc on the farm when I was like 8.

Volcom:What was it like being 8?

Elle Green: Being 8 living on a farm was oookaaaay.

Volcom: Yeah eights good. What’s the Volcom business you were talking about?

Elle Green: All this Volcomunity Featured Artist joy

Volcom:Tell me more about it. This is not a test. But you will be judged by senior management on how much you know.

Elle Green: “you will be judged” -awesome ha! I am a Featured Artist representing Australian Female Photographers for Volcomunity, girl power, all that jazz

Volcom:What style of Jazz? Fusion or experimental?

Elle Green: Skat

Volcom: Skat. Skat is good, it reminds me of being eight.

Elle Green: Believe it or not I’m actually listening to Ray Barbee right this second- which is kinda jazzy.

Volcom:Nice Ray Barbee. He know’s what time it is.

Elle Green: He knows whats up.

Volcom:…or does he? Cause they do mix with the timing in jazz don’t they?

Elle Green: Riiiiiight…not with skat though.

Volcom: So how’ d you find your way in to being a creative go to girl?

Elle Green: Holy helmet I dont know?!  Socialising is always a key element in this business I reckon. I am surrounded by very talented friends, whether they are musicians, photographers or designers. That helps me with my craft so to speak.

Volcom: What’s your favorite piece of work thus far?

Elle Green: Piece of work?

Volcom: Yeah

Elle Green: I have so many

Volcom: Ok what’s your best ten? Or five- ten might take a while

Elle Green: I put together a photo collage of my last USA trip, vintage framed it, living large at a cafe in Nth Bondi. I like that.

Volcom: Whooo! What was the US trip like?

Elle Green: Amaaaaazing

Volcom: Yeah!?

Elle Green: And I’m going back!

Volcom: Sic where?

Elle Green: Cali and Florida most likely

Volcom: Nice, and what else can we expect coming out of you via the volcomunity post?

Elle Green: Well my 1st post was a collection of daytime pics, my 2nd will be ‘nightime’ then a mixed bag of all the events upcoming in Feb, e.g The Bowl-a-Rama week

Volcom: Anything you can share with an aspiring Elle Green?

Elle Green: What ya mean? I am Elle Green

Volcom: Yeah someone who want to be like you when they grow up.

Elle Green: Doesn’t matter how much you read, or are taught- going out there and doing it yourself for yourself is the best.

Volcom: Awesome closing statement, thanks Elle

Elle Green: No worries! and thankyou!

Volcom: How was the interview?

Elle Green: Was that the interview?

Volcom: Yeah.

Elle Green: Ha! Yeah it was good man cheers.

Volcom: What was your favorite part?

Elle Green: My fav part was waiting for you to accept my skype request

Volcom: Yeah that was good. It’s funny cause that wasn’t actually apart of the interview.

Elle Green: I know

Volcom: Oh, I see…well

Elle Green: I’m being stupid sorry

Volcom: No, no- that’s cool…I get it

Elle Green: Long day

Volcom: Yeah it has been, thanks

Elle Green: Cool well I’m off to eat tacos with Kimmy Reynolds!

Volcom: Nice one- lovely chatting with you!

Elle Green: Cheers, laters
