NO POSING.
NO PRESSURE.

Documentary-style photo and video portraits capturing who people are and what matters to them.

(Based in San Diego)

About

My style of portraits starts with this question: What aspect of your life do you want honored? 

This could be:

• A typical evening with my family.

• The impact of my non-profit.

• Our kids playing at their favorite playground.

• My passion for skateboarding.

• Creating art in my studio.

• My role in the community.

• A brunch with my best friends.

• My dedication to fitness.

• How much we love our dog.

 

We work together to create the conditions for this to unfold naturally, including the location and any logistics specific to your vision. I then step back and observe with my camera.


These sessions result in photos and videos that are authentic and deeply personal - a body of work that tells your story.

If this resonates with you, please reach out. I'm happy to answer any questions, and I look forward to collaborating with you!

Testimonials

Eric has a rare gift for capturing essence, and it shines through in every photo he’s taken of my family. Each image of my daughter perfectly reflects the core of who she is, and I feel deeply honored to have these moments to hold onto forever.

I have had the pleasure of utilizing Eric Perez for photographic work on more than one occasion. The most recent work he has done was photographs of my daughter for her graduation from nursing school. I really appreciate his candid style and the shots he was able to get were so lifelike and didn't seem posed or contrived at all. He has a real talent for sensing light and background and capturing his subject's inner and outer beauty.

Eric’s photography perfectly encapsulates the authenticity of the moment. I look back on our photos and can hear my daughter’s laughter as she ran around with glee. I can feel my son’s warmth as he nestled in for a cuddle. Thank you, Eric, for capturing these precious moments that my family will cherish forever.

Melissa L.

I'm usually nervous in front of the camera, but Eric made the whole experience feel relaxed and fun. His creative, laid-back approach helped me feel like myself, and he incorporated things I love — chess, ukulele, and gardening — in a unique and natural way. The photos feel authentic and artistic, not staged. He was kind, easy to work with, and quick with turnaround and edits. I highly recommend him!"
