Known in the creative world as Velvetlip, he is an alternative fashion and editorial photographer whose bold, cinematic style is rooted in his early career on film sets. With over three decades behind the lens, his imagery transcends traditional portraiture, drawing inspiration from the drama, lighting, and storytelling of cinema.
Based now in Columbia, TN, Eric’s camera has traveled the globe—capturing evocative portraits in Iceland, France, Tahiti, Italy, and beyond. His work is instantly recognizable: moody, fashion-forward, and unafraid to blur the line between editorial elegance and avant-garde rebellion.
Having collaborated with industry giants like MTV, Walt Disney World, ESPN and General Mills, Eric merges high-profile commercial polish with his own raw, alternative edge. This balance gives his portfolio a rare duality—images that feel both cinematic and unrestrained, fashion-conscious yet fiercely individual.
