Vulture portrait

One of my earliest memories was watching a Sunday evening TV show filmed in Africa showing the wild animals and struggles of survival. The vultures were often present feasting on dead carcass, ugly and menacing. In reality they are remarkable birds with spectacular colors and markings. Some of us are so ugly we're beautiful. An Ohio native residing in St Louis, Eric Berke has pursued photography with a passion. It's the simple things in life that often tell a compelling story - clear composition of a plain subject creates a powerful image. Known for unique photographs of animals, landscapes and urban details, Eric also shoots pets, portraits and real estate.
