Three’s Company
Carrying a camera with a long lens often means there’s a good chance a stranger interested in photography will strike up a conversation with you.
As an introvert, I do enjoy my quiet time on these trips—but over the years, I've come to appreciate these interactions. Meeting people from different corners of the world and sharing a common interest often leaves me more energized than I'd expect, especially on those early mornings.
On my second day in the mountains of Nagano Prefecture, a Dutch photographer struck up a conversation about gear (as these things usually start). I mentioned that some of my favorite images of the Japanese macaques were of groups of the animals. He told me he wasn’t interested in photographing multiple animals—only solitary ones, which he found to be more impactful.
It was a statement that made me reflect on my own work.
I've sought out single subjects many times, and some have become my favorite images. But one of the biggest drivers behind my work is the hope of creating a connection between the viewer and the subject.
A lone figure can express a spirit, power, and resolve.
But some feelings don't land the same with just one subject—
feelings that strike a different chord.
Safety.
Comfort.
Trust.
Love.
These take two.
And sometimes, a tiny third.

Archival Pigment Prints
Modern printmaking, refined. Pigment prints utilize state-of-the-art digital technology and high-quality pigment-based inks to achieve striking reproductions. A digital image is applied directly onto the paper using precision inkjet printers, ensuring both image quality and longevity.
Vision meets the surface. Archival papers differ in weight, material, and texture. A paper is chosen to best suit the intent of the piece, from satin finishes to enhance rich shadows and colors, to handmade Japanese rice paper that offers a more textured and vintage feel.
The edition size ensures that only the number of prints indicated will ever be produced. Each print is proofed, reviewed, numbered, and signed by Eric, and includes a Certificate of Authenticity that is unique to your artwork.
