Photographer Eric Muss-Barnes, raised in Cleveland, Ohio, began his photographic endeavors in 1996 when he started taking photos of underground club kids as a advertising campaign for his first novel. Over the years, his education in the field was forged while working in commercial studios, traditional photography labs, and award winning digital imaging facilities. The 2nd Annual Erotic Art Exhibit at Soho Gallery in December 2004 marked the third gallery showing and his Los Angeles premiere. Eric is also a licensed hand glide pilot, an avid motorcyclist, a published novelist, and a award-nominated filmmaker.
