About Eric Schusser

Eric Schusser - friend of the mountains and the snow
Photographic artist

Photography has fascinated me since I was a boy and watched my father printing in his darkroom.

I have a diverse portfolio that covers landscape, abstract and social documentary work - I specialise in classic black and white and contemporary fine art images. Much of my work is project based and I am fascinated by the the ability of photography to tell important stories.

Milestones on my journey include multiple solo and group exhibitions, numerous regional and national awards, an Advanced Diploma in Photography, Fellow of the PSNZ and four photobooks. My work is in various institutions nationwide and private collections worldwide.

Key photographic influences include Wayne Barrar, Laurence Aberhart, Edward Weston, Dorothea Lange, Bill Brandt, Minor White, and the Dusseldorf School of Photography.
