Eriq Nelson is a fine art photographer working at the intersection of texture, landscape, and quiet human trace. Their work moves between black and white and richly atmospheric color, exploring environments where growth, decay, structure, and wilderness overlap.
Their practice is guided by a simple belief:
There is more to reality than what is currently demanding our attention. Spend at least one moment of each day communing with something beautiful and see what happens.
Drawn to weather, ruin, and the subtle geometry of natural systems, they photograph places shaped as much by time as by intention, including abandoned structures, forest interiors, fleeting light, and moments where the built world gives way to the living one. Their images favor stillness over spectacle and presence over explanation.
Based in the Pacific Northwest, their work reflects a sustained engagement with landscape as both refuge and record, and as a quiet conversation between what endures and what disappears.
About Muppet
Muppet is the best photography assistant Eriq has ever had. Tireless, wildly opinionated, and always on site, usually where they are not supposed to be.
