He\'s been creating artistic images for over 30 years, and his childlike sense of wonder (some call it immaturity) and friendly personality have allowed him the fortune of creating art for and photographing presidents, punk bands, movie stars, and supermodels.
Erik\'s got a passion for incorporating people in his images, honoring the human form but attempting to pull what\'s behind the curtain to the surface in his images. Also, his specialty of dramatic environmental portraits of people often present more questions than answers. He specializes in allegory-based imagery and symbolism in storytelling.
Erik\'s drive to pose questions in images is founded in the photojournalism he has been involved in after earning a degree at the University of Miami in communications, then moving forward to earn a master?s degree.
Erik cut his teeth on real film and has happily ruined countless outfits with photography chemicals, developing an appreciation for all things analog, even after adding digital platforms to his stable of tools. His travels have exposed him to looking at the world with an eye for the different. Erik continues to marry film and digital imagery for projects.
Erik continues to explore concepts of storytelling in imagery and connecting with his subjects, whether human or not.
Erik\'s work has been a part of many group exhibitions across the country and his limited editions have sparked excitement in the collector world
