Erik began serious work in his 20’s. Not content with conventional approaches to photography he pushes the limits while still retaining much of the lessons learned from the masters he studied. Robert Frank/Garry Winogrand/Minor White and all the way back to Stieglitz/Edward Weston and Paul Strand among others still inform his work. The results are a healthy combination of old traditions and new approaches.
Erik's evolution as a photographer led him to concentrate on portraiture. His work delves into the hidden essence of his subjects. His ability to capture that quality in a single image is a key ingredient in his approach to people.
