Hailing from Malmesbury, Eric is passionate about uncovering untold stories. His work explores the everyday moments that hold deep meaning, using light, framing, and empathy to transform ordinary scenes into powerful visual narratives.
The photograph, captured at Liebenberg Primary School in Malmesbury, portrays a sense of hope and optimism. The setting lights the scene, signalling that beyond the school day lies a promising horizon filled with opportunity, driving us forward as we complete our daily academic activities.
This place shapes dreams, builds friendships, and gives the youth of Malmesbury the freedom to let loose and be themselves. Sunbeams break through the clouds, reinforcing a feeling of hope and optimism, as if endless possibilities stretch out before them. Though the field is dusty, it remains a space where they run freely, chase their passions, and actively shape their futures.
For me, this photo captures the spirit of youth in Malmesbury - resilient, hopeful, and full of life.
“As young people we have much potential and talent, yet many stories go unnoticed by those who could elevate them to the next level.” - Eric
