Eric Berger's Profile

Eric was first introduced to the world of photography at an early age when he took classes in high school. He followed up with a three year photography major at Cegep Du Vieux Montreal before taking a job as a commercial photographer in the Montreal area. His passion for outdoor adventure eventually drove him to pack his bags and move from his hometown of Montreal to Whistler, British Columbia back in 1986. It was in Whistler that Eric developed his skills as an action sports photographer and in 1991 he was recruited by Transworld Snowboard Magazine as a Senior Contributing Photographer. A position he held for ten years. Eric began working as a marketing photographer for the Whistler Blackcomb resort in 1997 and has been on contract ever since. Over the years he has diversified his efforts, shooting a wide range of projects and contributing to countless publications and clients worldwide. He has established himself as one of the premier ski and snowboard photographers in the world. His ability to work in big mountain environments under difficult conditions, combined with his visual merging of high-risk sport, alpine topography and evocative composition have given him a signature look and international respect. Eric is currently based in Whistler, BC from where he travels the world in his photographic pursuits.
