Eric's Story

Born in Zimbabwe and raised on adventure, Eric’s path to photographic storytelling began at 13, midair in a skydiving harness. What started as a thrill-seeker’s pursuit evolved into two decades of capturing moments - first in freefall, then across the African savanna.

​

As a former skydiving cameraman and instructor, Eric developed a rare instinct for timing, composition, and movement. His work spans continents and disciplines - from sky to underwater, from real estate to wildlife - but his passion always leads him back to Africa’s wild.

​

Now based in Australia but forever grounded in Zimbabwe, Eric combines his deep technical skills with a gift for mentoring photographers at every level.

 

Through his company In-House Imaging, and as co-founder of Photo Safari Company & Go Beyond Safaris, Eric helps guests slow down, observe deeply, and craft meaningful images with purpose.

​

 

“The best photo safaris don’t chase shots - they wait for the moment to come to you.”​​
