Eric Lax is a digital artist and a photographer from North East New Jersey. He just graduated from the University of Tampa with a BFA in digital art. His passion is photo manipulation and photoediting, and underwater photography. He hopes that one day he can work for national geographic as an underwater photographer.

Much of my artwork comes from everyday geometrical shapes that we see on a daily basis. I would find myself drawing different shapes and combining them into one entire piece of art. This then evolved into many abstract drawings that I started doing before going to college.

From there I went into digital media where I became fascinated by photo manipulation and combining different photos and making them into one cohesive piece. This I found similar to drawing abstract designs because its like a puzzle you are always looking for a spot for something to fit. This is what I find fun and most of all challenging about photo manipulation and photo colleges.

Towards the end of my college career I started to doing underwater photography and videography. This became a big part of my life since I went out to create an underwater documentary about the environmental issues. This has become a big part of who I am because I enjoy taking footage of wildlife and I am in the mind set that if we do not save our oceans photographers like me wont be able to do what we love.
