Photography ERIC AUSTIN WELLS is a talented multimedia artist from Natick, MA. His photography is in great demand and has been appreciated around the world for its fresh photojournalistic approach at observing and anticipating significant moments rather than manufacturing them. He senses the moment, light, emotion and expression and captures them in a slice of time that is completely fresh and honest. Eric's assignments have taken him around the world covering everything from high school sports to Victoria Falls and the Zambezi River, Zambia, Africa; weddings from Cape Cod to Boston to Stillwater, MN and beyond; major rock concerts to live theater performances. Other than having "the eye", the sense and mastery of his technologies, Eric is equally appreciated for his warm and personable nature.
