About His Work-
Eric Oxendorf is a nationally recognized architectural and industrial photographer. Over fifty-one years of experience providing clients with his knowledge of light and how to capture it on either film or digital formats. He is patient, waiting for the elements of light and nature to be in sync before taking the photograph. He is visionary, looking for the unique angles and characteristics which will create a dramatic image.
Eric relies on, and follows his instincts, and acts on his emotional and educated impulses. His self-motivation makes him very productive and insightful. Knowledge of flight and weather play an important role in his image making. The focus of his work is to make a poetic statement of the subject to be photographed.
