As Shakespeare once wrote, “Some men are born with greatness, some men achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.” This is true in many cases, and it is particularly true when it comes to the raw talent of Eric Chang.
Born in 1990, Eric is a very talented young photographer; in fact he is the youngest photographer I’ve met and known who has had more brilliant career experiences and opportunities than most men nearing retirement. At his young age it is already evident that he is a photographer who was born with clear talent, has been achieving such greatness in his field that it is evident and most would agree: when it comes to art and photography, greatness has been thrust upon him.
Eric has been called upon to develop portfolios of personal portraits of famous Indonesian figures – from musicians, to movie stars, scientist, doctor, fashion gurus and even photographers. Some of these people include, but are not limited to: 3 Diva, Addie MS, Luna Maya, Dominique Agisca Diyose, Nicholas Saputra, Dr. Eka Julianta Wahjoepramono.
In developing his skills, I observe that Eric has a great initiative, creativity and determination to learn and succeed. Regarding his portfolio, Eric has manage to challenge himself in producing a very glamorous yet creative photographs. His skill does not only lie in the process of shooting but also in the process towards the finishing of a photograph. He have the skills to produce, shoot and edit the photographs himself. This in fact have helped him in shaping and finding his own distinctive style of art.
To be honest, I find Eric’s eye to be quite different from other people. When capturing a photograph, I find a very distintive style towards his implementations to photography. Communications, interactions, sharings and laughters he had with his subjects, has always become the things that he cherishes all the time. He believes that by the approach, he can capture the essence and soul of his subject’s character.
After all, Eric is extremely accomplished for someone of his age, yet he is continually working on furthering his career and opportunities. He is a prime example of someone who was born great and is achieving greatness daily and the world can do nothing but sit back, watch and appreciate.
