Brooklyn-based photographer & filmmaker Eric Ogden’s experiences growing up in Flint, Michigan were formative; endlessly drawing as a kid, playing in bands, discovering filmmaking and photography, all kept him out of trouble. Mostly. His interest in psychology and the mystery of childhood experience, with all their attendant fears and wonder, continue to reverberate in his photographs, along with a strong sense of the Midwest.

In his editorial work he has photographed an array of cultural icons, and covered stories as wide ranging as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, Election Day in Flint, Michigan, The first Women’s March, and across numerous stories, how senseless crime and violence intimately affects lives in America. His photographs have appeared in Wired, Entertainment Weekly, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, Billboard, The New Yorker, Esquire, The New York Times Magazine, Fast Company, The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, People, The Smithsonian, ESPN, Marie Claire, and Men's Journal, among many other publications. Commercially, he’s collaborated with brands & agencies such as Puma, Adobe & Frame.io, Amazon, Carbone Fine Foods, Nissan, Dick's Sporting Goods, Asics, Nike, Sotheby's, Maker's Mark, Sean John, Anomaly, Ogilvy, Saatchi & Saatchi, Supernatural, Vitro and TBWA/Chiat/Day, television networks & movie studios including Paramount+, Showtime, Lionsgate, AMC, NBC, USA, A&E, The Discovery Channel, and among record labels, Capitol Records, Roc Nation, Island Def Jam, Atlantic Records, Sony Music, and Warner Bros Records.

Ogden has written, produced and directed several short films. His latest, the unsettling psychological drama MOTEL, won the Grand Prize for Best Editing at the Rhode Island International Film Festival, and was an official selection of the Montclair Film Festival, Aesthetica Film Festival, and Woods Hole Film Festival. His other films include the offbeat comedy The Call, which stars Anna Kendrick, awarded with American Photography’s AI-AP Motion Art Award, and Nocturne, an ominous vision of America made entirely from historical found footage, which premiered at the Cinequest Film & VR Festival. He has also directed music videos for Capitol Records, Warner Records and spots for Puma, Carbone, USA network, Fast Company and Esquire.

Ogden enjoys hearing from young artists and mentoring whenever he can. He has guest lectured in New York City at the School of Visual Arts, International Center of Photography, Fashion Institute of Technology and The Cooper Union.
