Eric Algra Photographer

Biography


I began my career in professional photography in 1980. While working freelance I satisfied my passion and developed my vision by always pursuing personal work. This included landscape, portrait and street photography. In 2003 I ceased working professionally so that I could concentrate totally on pursuing my own work. This is proving to be immensely satisfying.
