Eric Peris is a prolific fine-art photographer capturing nature and landscape in the most profound and poetic way. On offer here is a picturesque monochromatic view of Mount Santubong, a mountain in the Malaysian state of Sarawak. Eric Peris has described that a photographer’s strongest tool is his eye. Evidently in this piece, he captures a sense of timeless tranquillity that nature has to offer.
Besides a full-time photographer, Eric Peris also currently holds several important positions such as Chairman of the Press Awards for Photography, Malaysia, Consultant for photojournalist training programs and Judge for regional and local photography contests. He won the National Art and Visual Gallery Award for contribution to Photography, Malaysia in 2013. In May 2015, Eric Peris presented his 36th exhibition at the Sutra Gallery, Kuala Lumpur titled NAMO - or homage in the Pali language - a retrospective body of work he created between 1975 and 1980, the years that marked a pivotal point in his life and photography. Some of his solo exhibitions include Tin Mine Landscapes, Shalini Ganendra Fine Art (2013), Images of George Town 70s, 80s, Alpha Gallery, Penang (2011), and Stirring Odissi, Gallery Petronas, Kuala Lumpur (2008).
