About Lake Art Studio

I’m Eric Lake, a grateful resident of the Santa Cruz Mountains, where the beauty of nature intertwines with my daily life. Amidst these redwood-covered hills, I find inspiration for my passion: photography. I find joy as each click of my camera shutter not only captures moments etched in time, but emotions, narratives, and the ever-changing dance of light and shadow. For me this art form isn’t just a profession, but creates a profound connection to the world around me.

As I eagerly await the birth of my first son, my lens is poised to immortalize the precious moments of our growing family. Photography, to me, is a way to hold onto the fleeting instances that shape our lives, creating a visual tapestry that tells the story of love, growth, and this extraordinary human journey we embark on together. Photography is a life long passion for me. I picked up photography in high school, and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photograph from the California Institute of the Arts. What I love about taking pictures that through every frame, I discover a new facet of the world and find a deeper appreciation for this art form that allows me to capture the essence of each passing moment.

In the realm of photography, I am both a wanderer and a weaver of dreams. The lens, my trusty guide, captures the untamed spirit of the world—a kaleidoscope of hues, textures, and stories waiting to be unveiled. Photography is my brush, and the canvas stretches across landscapes, faces, and the ethereal dance of light. Each click is a beat in the rhythm of life, a harmonious blend of chaos and beauty crystallized in a single, fleeting frame. It’s not just about halting time, but about releasing the wild, untamed poetry that thrives in the heart of every moment. Through the lens, I embrace the unpredictability, finding solace and exhilaration in the dance between the seen and the unseen.
