"I loved my experience working with Eric at photogenics. He was extremely professional and always prompt in his responses before and after the shoot, and he made the models feel very comfortable so that they can deliver their best work. The quality was beautiful and he brought a new perspective that works really well for the photos. He delivered a large amount photos taken and brought all of the props needed. He was very flexible with my request. In terms of creativity, he is always on point on all things — posing, color theory, and locations. Eric makes shooting with him easy due to his professionalism and presentation. I was really impressed by the location document that he initially sent over for our first shoot. I continue to shoot with him regularly because he is one of the most passionate photographers in the business. Also, you can tell that he really wants the best for you so we became friends in the process too. Eric is an incredibly creative business owner. Nothing but good things to say about working with him! I would absolutely work with him again and recommend him to anyone in the industry! Not to mention he’s a delight to be with on set." -SC Met via Instagram.Here's what they say
