Eric Schmidt - Authenticity, Stampedes, & New Work

Authenticity is a word that has been associated with Eric's work and is also a word he feels that most people would want to be associated with.  So when a recent assignment asked him to create authentic moments of individuals being portrayed as patients and doctors, he jumped onboard.

 

 

 

Shooting both stills & motion, Eric used thoughtful words throughout the shoot to gently direct & create those moments of authenticity.  Read more in his journal Capturing Moments.

While healthcare assignments make up a large portion of Eric's work, he still finds time to photograph other interests, like Rodeo's & State Fairs.  If you've never been to either, put them on your bucket list!  

Traveling to Montana, he took his 8x10 view camera to photograph the Marias stampede. 





While waiting for the action, storm clouds moved in, and as luck would have it - lightening struck.  No photoshop here :-)

The Montana & County Fair galleries are new to Eric site's. See more people and places at ericschmidtphotography.com.  

 Oh, to be a kid again!
