Eric Klemm

Acclaimed photographer Eric Klemm launched his award winning career in 1968 publishing with the prominent German magazine Twen. His long career has established him as a distinguished artist both in Canada and internationally. Eric has been awarded many accolades in the world of editorial and fine art photography for his powerful and often epic projects. 

Eric Klemm is a member of the prestigious Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Photographie. He first studied graphic design and turned seriously to photography in 1968, living in Heidelberg and Duesseldorf at the time. After many years living in France and the Maldive Islands, he now lives and works in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Silent Warriors is a significant undertaking by photographer Eric Klemm, who traveled North America for a year making more then three hundred contemporary portraits of aboriginal people in Canada and the United States. 

Klemm’s straightforward and vital portraits are reminiscent of Richard Avedon’s monumental work In The American West, allowing the subject ownership of their identity, while striving to make an honest record of people in their time.
