Bio
Eric W. Peterson is a Director, Editor, and Camera Operator based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, available for projects and assignments worldwide.
About
Originally from Vancouver, Eric moved at a young age to the small coastal island of Salt Spring. In a place where everyone knew one another, he learned early that relationships are built over time, and how you work with people matters. A lifelong interest in the outdoors and new experiences continues to influence how he works. Outside of work, Eric spends his time travelling and escaping the city. He also enjoys cooking, riding his bike, skiing, and is always on the hunt for a new body of water to jump into.
How it started
Eric began his production career at 16, in the early days of online content, creating mountain bike films with friends for industry brands. What started as a personal passion quickly became professional work, leading to early success in the sports world and, over time, a shift toward corporate production. Today, his work spans aviation, industry, recruitment, and brand storytelling — often in complex, real-world environments where trust, safety, and experience matter.
The process
Eric works one-on-one with clients, partnering closely from the first idea through to delivery. Unlike traditional agency models, there’s no handoff between strategy and execution — the same person shaping the story is behind the camera, in the edit, and involved throughout the process. This approach allows for flexibility, clarity, and work that clients are proud to share internally and externally — not because it checks a marketing box, but because it feels true.
A key part of this work is building long-term media libraries: flexible, well-organized collections of content that allow brands and organizations to tell many stories over time and respond quickly when new opportunities arise.
His work often takes place in high-stakes, industrial environments — including active airports, remote mine sites, and marine ports — where safety, preparation, and experience matter. He’s comfortable operating in tightly controlled, live environments and brings a thoughtful, disciplined approach to every shoot.
