Testimonials

Cathy Levin- Director of Marketing, San Francisco Symphony

The San Francisco Symphony has been delighted in our relationship with Eric Politzer.
We first met Eric when he was photographing an outdoor Symphony concert on his own
volition, given his deep personal love of the performing arts.

Impressed with the output that we saw, as well we with his obvious attraction to the arts,
we hired him to do an important shoot with the orchestra, a once-a-year dress rehearsal
that yields us the inventory we use for the entire year. This shoot has to go well –
and Eric really delivered! The images he captured for us are especially interesting and
full of life, and we have used one in particular over and over again, because it conveyed
exactly what we are trying to say about our Orchestra.

We have engaged Eric several times since that initial shoot, and find him always to be
professional, eager to please us as his clients, and deeply engaged with the art
that is happening on stage. In particular, we have found that his candid portraiture,
whether of our artists or of concert goers, is particurlarly wonderful.

Jeannette O’Malley, Executive Director, Pasadena Museum of History

Whether he is photographing young or old, individuals or groups, under
controlled circumstances or in candid shots, Eric Politzer captures the
essence of the person and the occasion. His photography is elegant,
expressive, and engaging. It has been our good fortune to collaborate
with Eric on a stunning series of portraits of Pasadena’s centenarians,
as well as on a set of creative and attention-grabbing promotional
images, all in conjunction with the City’s 125^th birthday festivities.
He is both a consummate professional and a true artist.

Kevin Fox- Founding Artistic Director, Pacific Boychoir Academy

We are very happy to have an ongoing collaboration with Eyegotcha Photography.
Last year on short notice and with tight time constraints, Eric produced a series of
images of the Boychoir that became the promotional collateral for our summer tour
of China. His photos appeared in newspapers and playbills, as well as on large
posters displayed in concert halls and in many outdoor settings throughout
China. We continue to use his work for a variety of purposes. Eric has created
some of the best images we have had of the Boychoir, capturing their spirit in a
playful and compelling manner. His staging of the photos was especially creative,
as well as engaging to the members of the Boychoir.

Maria Wusu

Eric is a fabulous photographer. For our wedding, we wanted someone that could
keep up with our roudy group of friends without missing a beat, or a shot. I had a
thousand crazy ideas for shots that I wanted, but wasn't sure if the photographer
could interpret and share my vision. Well, Eric more than impressed me during
the shooting process, and then blew me away once I received the finished product.
He found a way to capture all the joy and merriment of our special day.
We absolutely love our photos!

John Mitchell - Founder, Guatemalan Children's Initiative

Eric is the website photographer and organizer for the Guatemalan Children's Initiative,
a non-profit organization to help educate underserved children in Guatemala.
He has this great ability to catch the mood and feelings of children in his pictures.
Because of this, our website has become very unique and appealing for those who visit.
With the click of his camera he is able to express their playful movements, their curious
minds, their desire for learning and moments of sheer joy as only a true professional
photographer can do. He has the ability to capture a beautiful moment and preserve it
in a picture that can be shared and enjoyed by others. Eric is a very thoughtful and
giving person. He offered his special photographic services pro bono and traveled on
two occasions to Guatemala to take artistic photographs of the students of the
San Jose School to help bring awareness that will aid in their education.

Rebecca Prozan - S.F. Assistant District Attorney

Good photography is in the eye of the photographer. That's exactly what Eric is
— a true photographer. Eric has a keen vision, the ability to appreciate color,
people, and interaction, and the focus to do it just right. I'm honored to have worked
with him on numerous occasions, and I think his work is incredible!

Meena Harris - Co-Founder, Citizen Hope

Eric is not only immensely talented and dynamic, he is reliable and seems to get the exact
shots I want, even in the absence of clear directions or guidance. He has a keen sense of
space and portraiture and knows just what to capture depending on the event or setting.
It is continually a great pleasure working with Eric, as he is diligent and quick while shooting,
but also always turns around photos with the utmost professionalism and promptness.

Bob Hartnagel - Chief of Staff, California State Senator Mark Leno

Eric has an uncanny knack for photographing quick movement. He has shot a number of my
soccer games, and the photos always capture those individual moments of drama, passion
and athleticism that tell the story of the game as it unfolds. The expressions he captures in his
photos really make you feel like you're back out on the field. He has also photographed a number
of community events I and my boss, State Senator Mark Leno, have attended: Eric has the same
ability to tell a compelling story and depict the wide array of characters when shooting slow
movement as he does with fast movement. I love his photos! --

David Perry- CEO David Perry &Associates

Eric has that rare and important characteristic vital to all recorders of visual life: a good eye and
good timing. Many times during his work with my firm, Eric has found just the right moment and
just the right angle to preserve the ideal image. I'll continue to depend upon Eric and the services
of "eyegotcha" for my photographic needs.

Joe Gallagher- Joe's Barbershop

Eric is a talented photographer. His work captured my new barbershop with crisp, vivid images
that highlighted both the overall design, as well as smaller details, all of which highlighted the
shop’s character. He was unobtrusive and respectful of my team as we went about our business,
and he truly caught the atmosphere of our shop. I share his photos with everyone, because
I’m so proud of them. I look forward to working with him even more.
