Erik

‘’For as long as I can remember I have liked drawing. Maybe because of my grandmother who was a painter, or maybe because that's how I always liked to express myself’’ Erik says,  
‘’When my mum asked me how my day in school was I would rather draw a comic showing how it was. My dad got a computer for work already in the mid 80's so I also early developed an interest in computers, mostly by escaping to other worlds through computer games.’’

Erik wanted to do something more with the photos, where pressing the trigger would only be the start. Having an interest in computers from childhood it seemed quite a natural step to start there. ‘’I was playing around with the photos in the computer trying to create something that you couldn't capture with the camera, mostly very basic modifications like changing color or putting my little sisters on our roof top.’’

This is how his interest in photo manipulation started, nowhere in his wildest imagination did he think it would get him to where he is today.

Erik went on to study Engineering at university, his mechanical-minded brain twinned with his creativity meant he had a lot of ideas that he wanted to bring to life, ‘’it was a lot about problem solving trying to make issues and themes within the world look as realistic as possible.’’
