Elmaleh's work has been published in Harper’s Magazine, Dear Dave, Rattle Journal, NPR’s The Picture Show, and Visura Magazine. She teaches at the School of Visual Arts and the Center for Alternative Photography in New York City.  Her work has been exhibited in various solo and group shows throughout the United States and internationally.
