Eric Nielson Photography

A few years back I hired Eric for my major milestone birthday portraits. One of the shots is the profile shot I use here & on other sites. Can you guess which birthday it was for me? As you can see, the portraits turned out great & I love them more & more as time passes-​and so does my mother. He made me relax and feel comfortable better than any photographer I’ve ever hired. He is a master of natural light and digital production. Let Eric select your best shots.
In 2008 we hired Eric to shoot our wedding at the Marin Civic Center. His work speaks for itself. Totally amazing! Highly recommended.

Where to begin?
Besides being an incredibly compassionate spirit, that makes you feel comfortable in your own skin from the second you meet him…
Eric knows how to look for, and capture, distinction and diversity. Throughout our time together, he would guide me through this process of sort of coming out of my shell. He draws you out, through careful consideration of who you are and how you feel. He understands that being photographed is a process, a relationship of sorts.
He treats you like family and makes sure you are happy with what you see. Every effort is made to ensure what you create together surpasses your expectations. Being part of the process is what I valued the most.
Before, I would just defer to every other photographer who had worked with me. I presumed they knew exactly what they were doing and they could capture me, what I wanted, due to their incredible expertise. This hasn’t always panned out.
Eric makes you feel like family. He is professional but compassionate He works hard to use his expertise, but exerts equal effort to reflect your heart back to you.
The diversity, the care and compassion, the thoughtfulness and professionalism and downright fun time I had gave me photos and memories I will have for a lifetime.
Please consider Eric if you are looking for quality, compassion, and professionalism.

Eric’s an incredibly nice guy, easy to work with and takes some really great photos. You can see his work all over town on posters for various club nights. The photos are sexy and playful and fun… they made me want to go to the events…

Eric took pictures for my website
, and I was thrilled
with how they turned out! I’m an amateur photographer, and I was
totally impressed by how well he captured the ambiance of my office
with its tricky lighting situation; the realism stunned me. He wasted
no time capturing a myriad of scenes, and we were finished with the
shoot before I knew it. I’ve also seen some of Eric’s artisitc work,
and he’s clearly developed his own unique vision. I’m looking forward
to working with Eric on our next project together, for sure!

I have long been a fan of Eric’s photography, and find him to be one of the freshest, most engaging photographers in the area. As an art collector specializing in photography, and an avid photographer myself, I can say that Eric has a unique eye for capturing images. His photographs always have a mood and evoke a reaction that continues to thrill me.
Eric is also one of the best technical photographers that I have worked with. His use of lighting, whether natural or staged, always brings out the best features of his subjects. The environments he uses as backdrops also create a sense of uniqueness that is distinctive and characteristic of his photos — he uses each setting to it’s fullest potential, and turns challenging settings into masterpieces. Eric’s use of color adds even more interest and depth the images.
Eric knows how to get the most out of any subject and create fun, engaging, and sometimes emotional photographs. I highly recommend Eric as a photographer for any situation — he can turn any event or location into a studio and deliver portraits and scenes that will long be remembered.

This photographer is amazingly creative, enthusiastic, and engaging. I immediately felt comfortable with him and the photo shoot. It was a fun experience!
