Alexis Bright

Eric took some great pictures of me. The locations, the lighting, the pictures and the professionalism were fantastic. I mean for me, it basically comes down to, my number one choice in photographer is him.

 
"The first time I met Alexis was at a fashion show where she was wearing next-to-nothing and covered in blue bodypaint. Her body was incredible and I wanted to meet her immediately. After seeing photos of her without being painted like a cybernetic Smurf, she was even more appealing. Smart and down-to-earth, she is very natural on camera."

Annissk

I love all of the photos. They are great! There is something about Eric's photography - that he is the only one that can bring out a person's eyes. He is one of my favorites! He is the first photographer that I've ever worked with that has brought out my eyes! In just the right light hitting the face. I love that, those are my favorites!

 
"My admiration for this model is no secret. No pun intended, she and I just "click" every single time we shoot. We have worked with each other several times and there has not been a single photo session where we didn't capture something special. She is by far one of the best I have ever shot with."

Anyssa

Eric is one of the most creative, professional and driven photographers I have worked with. Working with him, you are creating art. I love his process of having an idea for an image and then going out there and really stretching the limits of that idea in as many different directions as you can think of and then winding up creating something beyond that. Wonderful work! When it comes to photography or writing or even when telling a joke, Eric pours all of his honesty and dedication into that creation and what you wind up with is brave, true and unexpected.

 
"I was introduced to Anyssa by another photographer who told me that she was a great model and I should consider working with her. What a joy to be introduced to the likes of her! Anyssa is a woman with very sharp and striking features. She is like photographing a stoic and elegant statue. Her entire physique eminates strength, beauty and power."

Azrielle

A true artist; he brings the light to the eyes, and makes the beautiful unbearable to look at because they shine so bright. It was a delight to make sweet imagery with Eric.

 
"This is one of those models who is "on her way" and I honestly believe will make it bigtime. And I will be able to say, "Yeah, I worked with her back when no one knew who she was." She never "tries" to be sexy at all. She simply "is" sexy without any effort whatsoever. Graceful and confident, she is an astounding talent."

Cali Ford

The photos that Eric took of me are simply breathtaking. I was just blown away by how beautiful they turned out. I really don't think that there's a bad angle in the bunch, and that's saying a lot coming from me. I'm definitely my own worst critic, and I really couldn't find anything to critique. He is, by far, one of the best photographers that I've ever worked with!

 
"Cali and I only shot together once - back in 2002. And of all the countless beautiful women I have met and shot with, I think it was one of my best shoots. She is not only a breathtaking beauty, but she is one of the most intelligent and funny people I have met. We had a great time."

Catalina Cruz

Eric is one of the most creative, professional and friendliest photographers I know. He did such a smooth wonderful shoot with amazing results that I am proud of! I am glad we met and are able to work together on other projects as well.

 
"Catalina is a real "trooper" of a model. Our first shoot was in a huge loft warehouse studio in the middle of winter in Cleveland. Even with the heat cranking, it never got very warm in there. And Catalina not only shot nudes without complaint, but she spent 20 minutes laying on a cold floor while I bodypainted her. The whole time, she was upbeat and talkative and fun and we laughed and joked and enjoyed each others company. She never complained. Never whined. Never said a single negative thing. Her professionalism is impeccable."

Donna Ricci

After 4 years of communication, Eric and I finally had a chance to meet and collaborate. His visions of dark beauty paired well with the clothing company's need for a strong, clean image and a better marriage could not have been made. Eric was able to easily transition between moods and ensembles while paying attention to the needs at hand. Now I'm happy to say that I can call Eric one of my best photographers and friends.

 
"Often I doubt that I would have ever moved to Los Angeles if it wasn't for Donna. She was an enormous help to me when I was visiting California and showed me around and introduced me to many people. Although she has built a well-known name for herself in the "alternative modeling scene" we were friends on a personal level long before we ever shot any photos together on a professional level. Working with her is always fun and easy and effortless."

Leah Langtree

My first shoot with Eric, he is so comfortable doing his work you can feel comfortable doing yours, as well he has a wonderful sense of humor. One of my most memorable shoots was done amongst beautiful gardens and a sun dress with hardly any make-up or fancy hair. I love those images. Eric is diversified in his eye for photography. He is fun and easy to work with. I highly recommend working with him if given the chance.

 
"Leah is the very first model that I ever shot with in Los Angeles. I often say that photography is like dancing. On a great shoot, the model and photographer are perfectly in synch and just flow with one another effortlessly. Leah is a great dance partner, and a talented model who developed into a good friend. From our first shoot, it felt like we had worked with each other for a decade."

Mistress King

Eric is the most talented person I know. His ability to capture and create will far exceed all expectations. He is a magician with light and has mastered the art of sensual montage. I've had two amazing shoots with Eric, and am planning a third. I can't wait!

 
"Jenna has been modeling for a long time and has worked with countless talented people from photographers to make-up artists to magazines. Her tear-sheets from European magazines are endless. Her sense of style and theatrics constantly afford us great photos."
- Eric Muss-Barnes

 
Nella

Eric is an incredible photographer. He has a style others don't, he has the sense of what needs to be captured as witnessed in the "Gabriel Burn" photo. Eric is the first professional photographer that I have worked with and I am so glad it was him for he gave me the confidence I needed to continue my modeling career.

 
"Nella was introduced to me by another model at a gallery reception in Studio City. I had heard many good things about her and they all proved true. Nella brings a great poise to her work and has always been enjoyable to photograph. On our first shoot, I attempted to find a "new location" and the effort failed miserably. Nella never complained, or made a fuss, and was very understanding. Her laid-back attitude afforded us some great images later in the day."

Sherri Snyder

I am grateful for the opportunity and pleasure of meeting and working with Eric. Highly professional in every sense of the word (before, after, and during the shoot), Eric fully understands the importance of the working relationship between a model and photographer and he knows how to facilitate it. From a technical standpoint, Eric is an expert at producing perfectly lit shots and capturing a variety of engaging angles. Faced with the task of not only producing great shots for my personal use, Eric was also working with the separate agendas of the designer and makeup artist. Needless to say, he did an outstanding job on all counts: I was thrilled, the designer thought the images were fabulous, and the makeup artist received some incredibly vivid close-ups of her work. Eric definitely exceeded my expectations and I was extremely impressed by the amazing diversity that resulted from a single shoot. Moreover, Eric is a wonderful collaborator and a genuinely great person to be around.

 
"Sherri and I had met in social circles and networking events a few times before we shot together. From seeing her photos, I knew she was experienced with a variety of looks and styles. But it wasn't until we actually began to shoot that her true versatility and poise began to shine. Cliched as it may sound, she is one of those models who truly "comes to life" when she starts posing. I was very impressed with her grace and composure. Wonderful woman to photograph."
- Eric Muss-Barnes

 
Stacy

On our first shoot, Eric took me out to a parking garage at midnight. Am I an idiot? No, Eric's just that good. I can't think of anyone else that gives such a great first impression that I'd be willing to set up a midnight shoot in an alley. But he's that kind of professional. Add to that the beautiful artwork, and the adorable tendency he has to talk to himself when shooting, and Eric is by far my favorite photographer. He always gets first "shot" at me when I'm in town.

 
"Stacy and I developed one of those rare, instantaneous friendships where we got along from the moment we met, and acted like old friends right from the start. I never pretend to understand how those kind of friendships manifest, but I'm always grateful when they do. As a result, shooting photos with her was incredibly relaxed and simple. Our first shoot felt like our tenth. I'm sad that she moved away shortly after we met, but I'm grateful that I had a chance to work with someone so enjoyable."

Yulia Medovoy

Eric not only flawlessly captures the true spirit and energy of his models, but he really encourages them to express themselves and get involved in the process. To put it simply, you are going to have fun and you are going to look fabulous.

 
"Yulia is fascinating and as exotic and worldy as she appears to be. The woman is truly intriguing in terms of life experiences. Her yoga and physical training give her a great command over her posing and allows her to really know her body as a model."
- Eric Muss-Barnes
