919 Diamond Crest Court, Santa Barbara, CA
Hi there! My name is Eddie,
Born and raised in Santa Barbara, California, I have been a professional photographer for 7 years now. Everyone can take a picture, but only a select few can truly capture a moment. I am one of those few. I teach photography workshops around the world, and have one coming up this August in Namibia!

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Having the perfect balance of being empathetic yet focused enough to be able to monitor the technical aspects of capturing a photo. Understand when to switch modes from having your brain call the shots- to being humble enough to shift that mind-driven focus, into your heart and emotions so that you can be sensitive enough to embrace coming from the energy, location, and subjects auras. Don’t take a photo, capture moment. That can only be done with your heart
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
Why do you want this moment captured? What inspired you to seek out having this moment captured in the first place?
What do you love most about your job?
Life is beautiful, I am able to capture any single moment that gives proof to that statement, any place, anytime, and anywhere in the world.
What inspired you to start your own business?
A well renowned art gallery contacted me and asked if I would do them the honor of displaying my work in their show room for an entire month. It was at this moment when I realized that if other individuals, whom I didn’t even know, believed in my work and the vision that I have to the point where they want to put my work on display in their place of business for all to see-
That I had to begin beautiful but nonetheless grueling challenge of believing in myself and the work that I produce. Having any individual be able to look at an image and evoke an emotion from a moment that I have captured, is the most beautiful thing in the world to me.
Why should our clients choose you?
Because I am whole heartedly in love with what I am blessed enough to be able to call my profession. And anything done with love, will always be able to produce greatness. I produce my work by getting out of my head and into my heart and because of this, my photography and style are unique and timeless pieces of artwork.
