Erik Groß found his passion for photography through his first love; skateboarding. Getting to traveling the globe as a professional skateboarder and being around photographers through that, Erik was inspired to pick up a camera himself. Instead of the ‚action‘ however, it was the culture around the actual skating that captured his interest. Over the years, Erik developed a passion for portraiture and documentary work in particular. As his portfolio clearly shows, he likes the outdoors, traveling light and shooting even lighter. Erik lives with his wife and their two kids in Rostock, Germany and works, well, everywhere. But preferably in a forest somewhere.
