About

Eric is an American filmmaker and photographer. His visual style explores the intersection of documentary realism and the beauty of composed photography - all in the service of authentic storytelling.

Born and raised in the cultural hotbed of Central Pennsylvania, Eric attended the College of Design at North Carolina State University where he studied design and film. After graduating, he worked as a Designer and Art Director while continuing to shoot stills for various projects. Wanting to tell more interesting stories with his work, he eventually transitioned full-time into commissioned documentary photography and filmmaking, which brought him to Los Angeles.

For the past ten years, Eric has been developing and filming live-action content for brands like Volkswagen, PlayStation, Taco Bell, and Target. His work has covered a wide range of tones, from comedy to documentary to heartfelt personal narratives. He has won multiple awards including a Cannes Lion for Eminem's album launch campaign that he wrote and directed.
