Elton Anderson Jr. left his six-figure sales job to pursue his passion of traveling and capturing the most captivating images of life, nature and people.

 

Today, he is now a renowned celebrity photographer, content creator, avid traveler, and eternal optimist who strives to connect people and inspire them through his actions.

 

In 2007, Elton discovered his passion for photography and made the bold decision to leave his lucrative corporate career within a year. Since then, he has captured captivating images of today's most celebrated entertainers, including Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs, Issa Rae, Tiffany Haddish, Nas, and Kendrick Lamar, among others. Elton has also worked on diverse campaigns for major brands such as Disney, Amazon, and Macy's.

 

Combining his love for photography and the creative community, Elton recently launched Creators of Color—a platform dedicated to showcasing diversity both in front of and behind the camera. Through its digital series, online magazine, and sponsored events, Creators of Color is actively bridging the diversity gap in the entertainment industry.

When Elton isn't busy shooting campaigns or advocating for inclusion, he can be found exploring different corners of the world. His travel photographs have gained significant popularity, having been featured on Good Morning America, Essence Magazine, and even landing him a leading role in a global commercial for Chase Sapphire Credit Cards. With 81 countries and counting under his belt, Elton's goal is to inspire others to embrace the world through his photography, philanthropy, and shared experiences.
