"Buck Ellison’s photographs, fabrications staged with actors, assess the underside of white identity. Most haunting is a deft family portrait that shows a 6-year-old Erik Prince, who went on to found the private military contractor Academi (formerly Blackwater), and his teenage sister Betsy DeVos, later U.S. Secretary of Education, as something recalling creatures who might have escaped from “The Omen.” -Christopher Knight, Los Angeles Times, November 10, 2020

​"Ellison, who is based in Los Angeles, almost exclusively hires local actors and models to play the ersatz bluebloods who populate his pictures, and he inserts them into rigorously stage-managed scenarios that he devises beforehand... Ellison goads us to contemplate not just the existence of an American ruling class, with its idiosyncratic and easily satirizable mores and style codes, but the invisible lineaments of wealth, power, and race that undergird its existence."
​- Chris Wiley, The New Yorker, August 1 2021

"When my casting director and I scout subjects, we show them my work, explain the project, sign releases, etc. The work takes me places that are extremely strange and uncomfortable, so I’m honored that these actors are willing to go there with me."

"The play's romantic component is well-served by Lora [Dailey] as Miranda and Michael Cassidy Flynn as Prince Ferdinand... Both actors lend immense charm and likeability to scenes that can be cloying in the wrong hands”.
