Eric was raised on film and knows our business down to the pixel. A chance encounter with the unit still photographer on Disney’s The Boy Who Could Fly (1985) near his hometown sparked his passion for the craft.

He is known for consistently capturing the desired tone and vision of a project and has earned the trust of numerous industry professionals.
Eric’s expertise in unit still photography extends to various aspects of publicity including key art and behind-the-scenes documentary coverage. Recognizing the pivotal role of the initial image in captivating an audience, he approaches his work with unwavering dedication and attention to detail. His photographs not only reflect the mood and essence of the story but also play a crucial role in the marketing of a film from its earliest stages of production.
