My passion has been in photography since the age of 16. After graduation I got my first job in Paris, France as an assistant to a commercial photographer. I moved to the US in 1987. I have worked for 3 advertising agencies as an in-house photographer. I have also owned and operated a commercial photo studio in Knoxville, TN, handling 40+ commercial accounts; Watson’s, J.C. Penny, Goody’s, University of Tennessee, Bike Athletics, Schutt Sports, Mercy Health Systems, Virginia Commonwealth University and many more. Many projects required that I managed a team of professionals such as videographers, photographers, makeup artists, talents to meet client’s expectations. My work includes magazine covers and feature articles for publications such as “Le Nouvel Economist” (Paris, France), “CityView Magazine” (TN), “Better Homes & Gardens”, “Oracle Magazine”. From 1998 to 2011, I was the principal photographer for national accounts such as Bush Brothers (Bean Company), Varsity Spirit Cheer, United Cutlery, and Premier Gymnastics. My work also brought me to do graphic design and video. My passion and commitment to my work has kept these clients for me, for years.

Whether taking pictures himself or admiring the works of others in books and galleries, photography has always been a true passion for Eric. As a photographer for over 40 years, he continually strives to capture subjects in a different and unique perspective. Being able to snap a moment in time and have it tell a story for many years to come is one of the beauties, and challenges, that Eric believes makes photography so rewarding. As a United States Marine Corps Veteran, Eric takes great pride in bringing professionalism, courtesy, focus and attention to detail to not only each of his projects but most importantly his clients. All while having fun throughout the process!
