Camden Image Gallery is owned by Elena Chimonas, who has a degree in Photography and works as a freelance photographic artist. One of the motivations behind Elena's decision to open the gallery was that she realised that she had met many artistically innovative individuals whose work was languishing under their beds and may never be widely seen. With that in mind Elena has opened the gallery with the aim of offering affordable packages for new artists who will be able to exhibit alongside more established artists. Her hope is that the new artists of today will become regular and established exhibitors at Camden Image Gallery who will encourage the next generation of new artists. 

Elena is also very keen to promote any genre of art, which is reflected in the variety of artists that displayed their work in the grand opening exhibition that ran from the 7th to the 17th December 2013.
