Research 1 (Erik Almas)



He started the business of photography around the age of 12, around the age of 22, Erik moved to the US to study photography, he soon spent 4 years in the university of arts and in 99 he won the best portfolio in the Spring show and in 2004 he received a honorary degree of outstanding alumnus.

He has now lived in San Francisco for 13 years and is still continuing his photography career and enjoys every moment of it.

He goes all around the world as he wishes to take in the feeling and emotion of all these different locales.

When asked what equipment and software he would rather use for photo manipulation, he insisted that there is never any preference and that there is always a need for the many programs used in photo manipulation.

However he does say that Photoshop has become the main extension of his imagination and in some way is really the main reason that his work pieces are so famous, it is, in most ways a more streamlined version of film, filters and the darkroom.
