About the Author

Roger Erickson, hailing from Oakland, California, embarked on his photographic journey after completing his studies at San Francisco State University. His passion for editorial photography led him to make a significant move to London, where he first embarked on his remarkable career. In 1990, Roger achieved a milestone with his first commissioned assignments for Select Magazine, photographing iconic figures such as Mot�rhead, Neil Young, and Crazy Horse. His talent and dedication propelled him to become the first African American photographer to capture two covers for Vogue Magazine in 2003. His distinctive perspective in American portraiture sets his work apart, contributing to the rich tapestry of the art form. Roger's portfolio extends across renowned publications and brands, with his images gracing the pages of GQ (US), Harper's Bazaar (UK), Vogue (M�xico y Latinoam�rica), ELLE (France), and more. His photographs offer a unique perspective in American visual culture, with a portfolio that spans across prestigious publications and advertising campaigns for global brands. Beyond the pages of magazines and billboards, Roger's work finds expression in exhibitions. His solo exhibition, OUTspoken: Portraits of LGBTQ Luminaries, held at SFAC Galleries in San Francisco City Hall, marked a significant chapter in his artistic journey.
