A journalism graduate from Temple University, he has always had a passion for the people side of photography, and thrives on the challenge of convincing others that posing would be fun, good for their health and would make great art. He likes to work fast, shoot a lot of film and make sure his subjects are having the times of their lives. Einhorn has had a few openings in clubs, and plans to put out a book as soon as he can get famous from his cable-access TV show, Dog the Cat.

Stephan
Ellis, spent much of his early life as a hard drinking bass player for local
New Jersey/NYC rock bands during the late 70's and early 80's.
Concurrently he spent his time photographing what he called the 'beauty
of decay': The crumbling infrustructure of the urban and sometimes rural
environments he found himself. In his recent move to photographing the human form,
the passionate disorder of the love-making act finds similar structres
of converging lines. He is now working to compile a book of his work spanning
the past 25 years.
