Presented by United Photographic Artists Gallery

In a span of over 30 years, Erik has photographed presidents, punk bands, movie stars, and supermodels for artistic projects and installations. 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 staged imagery and symbolism in storytelling. His planetary travels have exposed him to looking at the world with an eye for the different. Erik cut his teeth on real film, developing an appreciation for all things analog, even after combining digital platforms. Erik continues to marry film and digital imagery for projects. Erik continues to explore concepts of storytelling in imagery and connecting with his audience to drive emotions and pose questions about our lives.
