About Erik

The thing about photography that I enjoy the most is working with people.

I remember taking my first studio portrait class at the New England School of Photography many years ago (sadly since closed) where I learned to direct people in front of the camera. I realized I had a knack for helping subjects relax.

Eventually I turned my photography hobby into a business making pictures of people. I went on to do weddings, family portraits, boudoir sessions and anything else where I could get people in front of my camera.

I'm now concentrated on commercially oriented work along with the occasional shoot I do just for my own creativity.

To see some of my non-commercial work, here are some additional portfolios for weddings, studio portraits, and fashion .
