For Erik, photography is one of the most powerful tools we have today — an immediately understood, universal language.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, his early fascination with conservation and nature evolved into a lifelong passion for capturing the beauty and fragility of our world. In his search to explore this language, its both shaped and revealed who he is along the way. It's taken him around the globe, introducing Erik to amazing people, and incredible stories. His camera grants access to places he would otherwise have no reason to be in. It's accepted and understood. Perhaps in ways he never was or maybe simply as an extension; taking the lead where Erik struggled. In turn, sharing his work has given a voice to those in need and others without access a connection to whats out there.

After studying commercial photography and exploring architectural and travel work, Erik applied his focus toward and conservation, forging a style that merges fine art with activism. Inspired by nature’s perfect design—from grand vistas to tiny insects—Erik’s images highlight the adventure, wonderment and delicate balance that binds every living thing. Partnering with editorial clients, organizations, and researchers, he uses his art to highlight critical issues and inspire awareness. For Erik, photography is not only a means of artistic expression but also a way to preserve what he loves most about the planet.

By documenting these vital spaces and species, he hopes to spark dialogue, encourage collective action, and ultimately give back to the environments that have always given him a sense of connection and understanding.
