Erica Snyder

Erica Snyder is a self taught photographer based in New Jersey.

“My work is very much effected by my emotional and mental state. There is an underlying sense of nostalgia and longing in the suburban landscape.I have a deep desire to find something new in something old. I chose to focus on the over looked beauty, facets of the environment that may not exist in a few months or even a few days. New Jersey is rapidly changing, instead of preservation, buildings are torn down and replaced. There is an imposing feeling of sterility. I spend hours driving to find subjects that have a sense of character, a grittiness that comes from years of enduring the elements, I want to give them the immortality that I feel is deserved.”
