“Born to shoot the world.”

It’s a beautiful thing when you discover your passion from a young age. Eric’s fascination in skydiving photography started when he was in high school.

“The brother-in-law of a close friend of mine was a skydiving camera man, I believe he was the camera man for the national skydiving team. After visiting the skydiving dropzone and seeing him action, I instantly knew, that if one day I got into skydiving, I wanted to be a camera man.”

A few years later, Eric enrolled in a skydiving course with that same friend. And sure enough, as soon as he was allowed to jump with a camera, he started pursuing it as a profession.

It was a lifestyle he loved, one that took him on many adventures. After a few short years, Eric was asked to be the camera man for the Zimbabwean skydiving team at the world championships.

“I learned most of what I know about photography and videography in the world of skydiving. Trusting your instinct and developing the skill to anticipate what might happen separates good photography from great.”

As Eric travelled the world skydiving, he grasped every opportunity to photograph and film a diverse range of activities, events and businesses.

“The natural progression was to multimedia. One of my favourite projects was filming a 2-day travel adventure for a dozen 4×4 vehicles in the dunes of the Namib Desert to the south of Walvis Bay in Namibia.”

After moving to Australia and meeting his wife Sarah-Jane, the pair knew their combined skills would be best suited to a photography and multimedia business. In-House Imaging in Adelaide was born.

After more than 16,000 jumps to his name, Eric quit skydiving as the demands of their business grew. Life with Sarah-Jane and the growth of In-House Imaging is the greatest rush of all.
