1He has been working odd jobs and taken small freelance work to support his love of digital photography. Hoping to continue his work on a more broad level, he is currently open to the possibility of any new opportunity that would allow him to continue doing what he loves. Eric Matthew Gustafson currently resides in Austin, but has lived throughout the United States including Seattle, Florida, Indiana, Virginia & Texas during his lifetime. To achieve his results, Eric drives to various urban and rural locations and explores on foot with only his camera, tripod and a unique outlook of his surroundings. In questioning further about his process of creating and shooting both urban and rural environments throughout America, Canada and Japan, it can best be described by his own words. When I find myself exploring and traversing areas unknown and new to me, armed only with my camera and a curious perspective, time slips away and I see things the way I feel they were always meant to be seen. I capture them. I take them afterwards and play with them. I get lost in them. To me it is an intimate process of projecting myself and my perspective onto the world, and the images that I produce as a result now exist as a very personal reflection of myself.
