Brief Summary
The opportunity to visually document and be allowed to step into someone life or show what an organization does is a true honor and pleasure for me. Photography allows me act out on my curiosity of how people live or what a company does and how they do it. I have always be intrigued by these things and through photography I am allowed to share a visual story to help others understand more about people or what an organization does. The relationship between the subject, client and photographer is something I cherish and build on in order to create compelling and beautiful images.
Since 2008, Ehrin has been working as a photographer and videographer based in Hanoi, Vietnam. He was born in the Netherlands to a Dutch mother and an American father. As a teen, his mother took him to the Middle East and Europe and opened his eyes to the world. After graduating from the University of Florida he set out to discover more and serendipitously ended up in Vietnam.
Ehrin has experience working on a wide range of Vietnam photography and video projects including: commercial, documentary, corporate, portraiture, industrial and editorial. He has been commissioned by Fortune 500 companies, magazines and NGOs to provide them unique photography and videos from Vietnam and Southeast Asia.
