Erica Derrickson
Photographer
Erica worked with the I Am a Scientist team from the beginning to capture the original scientists’ portraits, and inspire the visual aesthetic that would serve as the foundation for all of the program’s materials.
Her incredible talent for beautifully capturing each individual’s unique spirit and persona became the artistic keystone for the initiative, and continues to set the stylistic tone for the program’s expansion.
Erica’s gift is to connect with people deeply and authentically in a way that helps them feel safe to reveal their true self. She loves what she does because she gives people confidence and helps them believe in themselves by giving them photos that show their most radiant and truthful self. Sometimes people can’t see their own beauty - but she does - and she loves to show them what she sees. In addition to photography, Erica is a model, actor, traveller, and vlogger who has built a strong online following around her adventures. She loves to learn, grow and push herself creatively and spiritually. Every time she approaches her edge it, moves a little further out. — via ericaseye.com
