Bio
Eric is a Canadian Director of Photography that is a Full Member of the Canadian Society of Cinematographers (CSC) & an Accredited Member of the Malaysian Society of Cinematographers (MySC).
Eric started his career in the film industry in Toronto in 1993 as a camera assistant, while he was studying for his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film at Ryerson University. He embarked on his cinematography career in 2001 by first shooting music videos, then moving on to commercials and films.
In 2008 Eric went to Bali to shoot a feature-length documentary and ended up staying in Asia for 8 years shooting documentaries, short films, commercials and feature films throughout the region (China, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia). He has since moved back west with his family.
Intro
My career has taken me around the globe, shooting many different genres. From shooting a Canadian TV movie in remote South Africa, to filming stop-motion films. From lensing commercials and documentaries throughout Asia where I was based for 8 years, to shooting feature films in rural Ontario and the jungles of Malaysia. These invaluable experiences has taught me to maintain high standards while working with crew and resources at all levels.
In creating and interpreting ideas, concepts, and scripts into visual stories, I have built up extensive experience in lateral thinking and problem solving, both technical and creative. In all my work I strive to capture the nuances essential to experiences for audiences, whether to inform, entertain or provoke conversations.
I believe that the magic of film and life are integrated into a single holistic pursuit of creative exploration and discovery, encompassed in the application of technology and science together with creative art.
