Erick Gibson is an award-winning photojournalist, a stills photographer, and a cinematographer. After graduating college magna cum laude with a B.A. in photography, Erick immediately began a professional photography career that now encompasses 16 years of experience. After working for a commercial and advertising photography studio for years, Erick changed gears and pursued a different path taking a position as a newspaper photojournalist. Soon after, Erick would make another change and begin his full-time freelance career.

The wide range of specialties accrued working across multiple genres in his early career provided Erick with a diverse portfolio and skill set. Equally comfortable shooting in studio or on-location, Erick’s portfolio currently includes documentary photojournalism, portrait, product, lifestyle, travel, and fashion photography.

Never easily content, Erick began doing freelance videography in 2005. Before he graduated college with a degree in photography, Erick was originally a film student, so motion pictures was really the return to this previous, closely related passion. In addition to his professional stills photography career, Erick currently works in digital cinema as a Director of Photography and a camera operator on corporate videos, documentaries, and independent fiction films.

Erick is an image maker infused with the energy of Rock n’ Roll, the art of skateboarding, and a longing for adventure. He is inspired by the power of cinema and art and the ability for these mediums to tell stories and to communicate beyond the boundaries of spoken and written language.

When not developing his own photography or filmmaking projects, Erick likes to skateboard, rock climb, and surf. He is an insatiable travel fiend, citizen journalist, existential soldier, and journeyman for justice.
