Thomas Sayers Ellis: Paradise | Paradise Layered On View

Photographer and poet Thomas Sayers Ellis was named the first Photo Laureate during the Saint Petersburg Month of Photography in May of 2023. During his tenure, he created a visual story of Saint Petersburg and its inhabitants. This story is sometimes comical, sometimes dark. But most of all, it sheds an intriguing light on the mechanism of the Florida tourist industry, the people that keep the city running and the people the city attracts like moths to a flame.
