About Erin Leigh

I capture light and make art.

I believe anyone can photograph - but only an artist can create the images that have the quality of being powerfully and mysteriously attractive and fascinating.

I have a complicated relationship with digital cameras (and prefer shooting film).

I plant one tree for every roll of film I shoot.

I love working with film and analog photographic techniques because it is part science, part art and it reminds that there are two halves to everything.

I'm not comfortable being aggressive like most photojournalistic shooters.

I attended and graduated from one of the top five art schools in the country and have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in photography.

I use my camera to explore the phenomena of the physical world collectively - including plants, animals, the landscape, and other features of the earth - and our relationship to it.
