Life at the top isn’t always easy, especially for those not accustomed to it.
Head north—far north—from Oslo, and you’ll be greeted by conditions that are anything but hospitable. Here, above the Arctic Circle, you are the outsider.
Each morning, as you head out in your tiny Zodiac, the air hovers near freezing, the dark water barely warmer, and the wind slices cold across your face. In this remote region, life reveals itself sparingly: through scattered villages, the odd fishing boat, and the animals that call this stretch of sea home.
The dorsal fins are unmistakable—jet-black shards of glass that pierce the surface to announce their arrival, some measuring up to six feet tall. Orcas frequent these fjords each winter, following the herring that gather here.
Encounters are fleeting, as pods move constantly in search of fish. You're left waiting, shivering in your wetsuit, hoping for a glimpse of the coveted hunt.
Even from inside your wind-whipped inflatable, it's hard not to marvel.
This is an unforgiving but stunning realm.
The backdrop becomes as much a subject in these topside images as the animals themselves. It sculpts the scene you came so far to witness: orcas, not in tanks, but in the wild, with endless space before them.
At the top of the world—as in oceans across our planet—one species reigns supreme.
LIMITED EDITION
A moment captured for a life on paper.
Eric works with a renowned print studio in Brooklyn, New York, known for decades of expertise in archival pigment printing. The local lab allows for a collaborative approach, ensuring that his intended vision is expressed in the final artwork. When cared for properly, archival pigment prints can last for over a century.
Archival Pigment Prints
Modern printmaking, refined. Pigment prints utilize state-of-the-art digital technology and high-quality pigment-based inks to achieve striking reproductions. A digital image is applied directly onto the paper using precision inkjet printers, ensuring both image quality and longevity.
Vision meets the surface. Archival papers differ in weight, material, and texture. A paper is chosen to best suit the intent of the piece, from satin finishes to enhance rich shadows and colors, to handmade Japanese rice paper that offers a more textured and vintage feel.
The edition size ensures that only the number of prints indicated will ever be produced. Each print is proofed, reviewed, numbered, and signed by Eric, and includes a Certificate of Authenticity that is unique to your artwork.

Archival papers differ in weight, material, and texture. Each is chosen to best serve the intent of the piece—from satin finishes that enhance tonal depth, to washi papers that offers a textured, tactile feel.
Silver gelatin prints combine modern digital exposure with the same light-sensitive papers and chemical processing that have defined darkroom practice for over a century.
The gelatin layer renders fine detail and textures, rich blacks, and a wide tonal range, giving each print its characteristic dimensionality.
Each edition is limited to the number of prints indicated. Every work is proofed, reviewed, signed, and accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
A select number of Artist Proofs are reserved for the artist, family, or collectors.
Platinum-palladium printing originated in the 19th century and remains one of the most time-honored and labor-intensive photographic processes. A digital photograph is converted into a negative, which is then used in this traditional contact method.
Each piece is prepared and produced by hand.
Platinum prints are known for their smooth tonal transitions, matte surface, and subtly warm character.
The visible brush strokes around the edges reveal the hand-coated process—no two prints will ever be the same.
A brush-applied coating of platinum and palladium salts is exposed to ultraviolet light through a digitally produced negative. The platinum particles are activated and become physically embedded into the fibers of the paper.
The result is a print with extraordinary archival permanence measured in centuries—commonly cited at over 1,000 years.
