(New York, NY) Legendary photographer Ellen Stagg is on a promotional media tour for her AltStar Awards nominations—she's in it to win it and the latest guest on Marcela Alonso's Get Schooled Podcast.

"Capturing Empowerment: A Conversation with Photographer & Sex Worker Ellen Stagg" is over 60 minutes of entertainment and educational information. Ellen Stagg and host Marcela Alonso cover a lot of ground. Marcela opens the episode discussing Ellen's Arts Book for "Free to Be Naked." They talk about the proper etiquette for models that are booked for a photo shoot, especially new faces, including what to bring to set, their physical appearance, basics to bring to the shoot, and how Ellen educates them before the shoot with an email with all the details and examples of pics/poses, so they come to her shoots in the know. The ladies also discussed the comfort level of working with a female photographer, putting content on premium social media, and navigating all the rules on all the different sites. Marcela and Ellen chat more about her third book, upcoming signing at the Las Vegas Hustler Hollywood store, appearing at the AltStar events and awards show, favorite models she works with, and her upcoming MILF book.

ABOUT ELLEN STAGG

Famed photographer Ellen Stagg describes her work as photographing women of all levels of dress undress, empowering women, and celebrating and collaborating with them through her photography.

Ellen's lifelong interest in photography began in high school in Connecticut with a senior-level photography course. She attended the prestigious School of Visual Arts, graduating with a BFA. At the end of her junior year at SVA, Stagg signed with her first agent and immediately began shooting commercial content for magazines, advertising, fashion, and exclusive clientele. Ellen's fashion and commercial work has appeared in Life, Vibe, Interview, Maxim, Flaunt, I-D, Inked, Penthouse, Time Out, Teen Vogue, and film and TV. Her subjects, drawn from acting, music, and sports, include Scarlett Johansson, Moby, Tony Hawk, Heidi Fleiss, Redman, Good Charlotte, and Geena Rocero. A complete list of her clients is at 

The turning point in her career came when Ellen met porn star/actress Justine Joli, who was searching for a photographer to create content for her site. Through Joli, she met other women from the industry and continued to explore more erotic subject matter but ran into difficulty while looking for places to showcase her work. Deemed too "porn" for her commercial work and too "artsy" for porn sites, Ellen started her own website, , which brought her more notoriety and opened doors for TV work and art exhibits. 

Ellen was spotlighted in a ten-episode web series shot by The Independent Film Channel called "The Stagg Party". Filmed and directed by Joe Swanberg, the series was shot in Brooklyn and Los Angeles and received critical kudos. She then moved on to shoot/produce and star in 2 seasons of Playboy TV's "Badass," photographing models doing badass activities like cliff diving, riding horses, and driving a tracker, all in the nude while Ellen interviewed them. Ellen also starred in KarmaloopTV , "Behind the Lens," shooting and interviewing her models, including Stoya, Lily Labeau, Shay Laren, Kacie Marie and more. 

Ellen has exhibited her fine art film images at art galleries worldwide. She has shown her work at Fuse Gallery, Parlor Gallery, Stephen Romano, Morbid Anatomy, Gallery, Brooklyn, Mighty Tanaka, and Scope Art Fair. Her work is regularly featured on the covers and pages of Hustler and Taboo magazines. Ellen received three wins and numerous nominations from the AltStar Awards.
