Erik Schwerdtfeger

Portrait and Live Entertainment Photographer

I'm Erik, a photographer based out of Madison, Wisconsin. I believe that great photography arises from the ability to capture expression. From a little flicker of joy on a model's face to the dramatic expressions of a performer on stage, my work seeks to capture the powerful emotions that define the human experience.


I go into every photoshoot with a plan, but often find that my best work comes when I break out of that plan and embrace spontaneous experimentation.

What I Believe

All people, regardless of age, gender, or body shape can be photographed beautifully. Every photoshoot is a unique opportunity to express yourself!

I believe that every photograph is a collaboration between the photographer, the model, and the light. Play dress up! Make believe! A photoshoot should be a fun and uplifting experience for everyone involved!
