Eric M. Renard is a Los Angeles based Fine Art Photographer. His passion for photography was first ignited at Tufts University in Boston, where he studied under Siegfried Halus. After graduating, Eric went to San Francisco and worked as an architectural real estate photographer before moving to Los Angeles. Color photo of fine art photographer Eric Renard Eric Renard’s “Nobody Walk in L.A.” recent photography exhibition ran October-December in 2003 at the Sasse Museum of Art in Pomona. In 1982, the song “Walking in L.A.” by the new wave band Missing Persons, poked fun at Los Angeles for its dependence on cars with the refrain — “Nobody Walks in L.A.”. Forty years later, the world still thinks we don’t walk much but we do and we also saunter, stroll, and strut our stuff on bikes and scooters wherever we go. This black and white photography exhibition focuses on high contrast, urban cityscapes which reflect an eerie sense of peace and tranquility. The landscape is the hero, with the people in them subject to the power of their surroundings. Wrapped in our daily cocoon of routine, we obliviously move past cityscapes painted by light and shadows. In this series of images we explore the unique architecture of Los Angeles, some of it loved, some of it hated and some of it completely unnoticed. Eric’s photography has found its way into art galleries in London, Barcelona, Budapest, Athens, Mexico, Brazil, New York, Texas, Oregon, Minnesota, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Connecticut and across California. His photography has received numerous Best of Show awards and has been published in both books and photography magazines, including the cover of Black & White magazine.
