Eric Alan Pritchard, a fine art photographer for over 20 years, began with traditional landscape genres and travel documentary in his early career. Eric has gone on to develop a unique approach to nudes and organic objects, evolving his style into one of delicate shapes and spare, luminous abstractions. By contrast, Eric’s richly detailed photographs from Angkor Wat in Cambodia reveal with a dark glow the tangled layers and textures that are the embodiment of mystery in that sacred location. After many years of shooting exclusively black and white, Eric began to work in color again on the waters of southern Thailand in 2004. Most recently, Eric has been exploring a form of reductive minimalism in his photographs of the horizon, made at his beachfront home overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Pritchard’s popular 2003 exhibition of abstract nudes “Repose” at the Bolinas Museum in Northern California gained significant attention. A group of “Repose” nudes was purchased by the luxury hotel ZOM in Miami Beach, and The Contemporaries, an art-collection group for young professionals, showcased Eric’s nudes both at their gallery in New York, and on their website as the featured artist of July 2005.
