Installé en Caroline du Nord, Eric Pickersgill (Homestead, Floride, 1986) se consacre à plein temps à la photographie.
En 2015, il obtient un Master of Fine Arts Degree à l’Université de Chapel Hill. Fasciné par les mutations et les effets psychosociaux qu’engendrent les appareils et leurs artefacts, il se concentre sur l’homme en tant qu’individu mais aussi en tant que membre d’une communauté.
En marge de sa pratique, il se consacre aussi à l’enseignement.
