Erik
Aeder’s job is capturing
moments of time so
people can visually be
part of life’s extremes.
At the very top of his
field, which is water
sports photography, he
has helped open doors of
opportunity for some of
the most elite athletes
in the world, all the
while sharing his vision
through the art of
photography.
Growing up in the
picturesque backdrop of
La Jolla, California,
Erik naturally began
taking photos of his
surroundings and by the
age of fourteen, he was
already selling surf
shots to his friends at
fifty cents apiece.
Erik used to work in
restaurant jobs and save
all his money to go
travelling, now he has
found the ideal job by
following his lens
around the world. In his
early days of getting
work published, he was
very secretive about
naming such beautiful
locations.
Erik has been living
in Hawaii for the past
25 years and is senior
photographer of Surfer
magazine. Erik feels his
life is more exciting
than ever as he grows
with his wife and two
young children Xander
and Allegra.
