Eleanor Shakespeare is a freelance photomontage illustrator working across editorial, publishing and design, with an independent practice dating from 2013. Her images combine found ephemera with bold colour, handmade textures and mark-making, creating collage-based compositions with a recognisable tactile quality. Projects range from news and current-affairs illustration to books, personal commissions, large-scale murals and broader design campaigns. She is particularly interested in stories connected to injustice and humanitarian issues, while maintaining a portfolio broad enough to cover culture, food, travel and other editorial subjects. Shakespeare works for international audiences and has built a client base across major publications, publishers, cultural organisations and commercial brands.
