title
Wings
Throughout his artist career, his work has been published in respected magazines, books, and catalogues, and presented in six exhibitions. These milestones reflect his active engagement within the international photography community. His development has been shaped by long-term collaborations with his muses, which form the emotional and conceptual foundation of his work. Equally influential were his early training with German photographer Arboulan and his continued refinement under Hungarian artists Szeni Jung and Sandor Benkoe, who still accompanies his journey as a mentor.
Eric's pictures are not about nudity for its own sake. Instead, the female body becomes a vehicle for narratives - a medium through which character, presence, and emotional nuance are expressed. In recent years, his style has evolved toward a form of visual storytelling built on a balance between revealing and concealing, where sensuality serves a broader intention.
Central to his process is the creation of a shared space with the model that is built on trust and respect. Within this environment, photographer and model develop ideas together, allowing genuine expression to emerge.
Although nudity and suggestive poses may appear in his compositions, they function as elements within a visual language focused on narrative depth. His work seeks to celebrate feminine presence while transcending conventional eroticism.
Having worked with more than one hundred amateur models from different countries, Eric has developed a signature style that merges technical precision with emotional truth. His pictures reflect a continuous pursuit of artistic growth and a commitment to his craft.

entry description
This series is a small project I branded as « wings ». I took the pictures in an old German factory that has been transformed into a huge studio with 3 levels. The upper one offers many possibilities for creative photography, including large windows flooded with sunlight. I asked three different models (Aleksa, Dominika, and Lena) on three different days to take a similar pose while unfolding their wings into a V-shape. My intent was that each picture can be interpreted as a pursuit of liberty. Special thanks to each model as they were standing on a box during several minutes and had to move their arms following my instructions, which was quite demanding.about the photographer
