The Story of a Photographer

"I love photography and working with other creative souls to achieve the impossible through imagery and creativity."-Erin Summer M.


I started shooting at the age of 16 and had one of my first models signed, in fashion shows for Armani by the age of 17. At the same time, I had my first front cover publication Internationally. By the age of 20 I was already shooting over 50 weddings a year throughout the Tri-State area, then over 80 a year by the time I was 23. I have managed photo labs and an array of studios including portrait, commercial/product, wedding firms and others. Photo lab development included monochrome, C41, RA4 and E6. Editing and proofing both digital and hard copy with Photoshop, Light Room, Portrait Pro and others. Staff supervision has included up to 35 photographers and 37 cinematographers. I have also created set designs, fashion styling, created photography manuals and established photo departments for various companies.


Now that we got past the interview LOL, here's my story in video.

Director of photography Erin Summer Moulton

"I am Proof that all things are possible, my life is a living testimony of focusing on what's important, developing from the negative and always ready to take another shot."
