Photographer: Erik Holladay-Mccann

Erik Holladay-McCann, the owner and lead photographer of Holladay Photography. Holladay launched his own studio in Michigan in 2009, after leaving the press corps following 25 incredible years as a photojournalist, a career that he broke into at the (now unbelievable) age of 14. Combining his passion for storytelling and documentary-style photography with his creative aesthetic derived from a bold cinematic standpoint in his photographs is something he truly loves and is privileged to do as a career.
Visual storytelling is his ultimate goal for any of his photographs. that method has since served him well in his private endeavors, especially with portrait photography and wedding photography. He thrives on the challenge of finding those fleeting moments in everyday life that demand to be captured and crafted into a work of art. When done well, it's something that can transcend genre and pull the viewer in deeper.
Holladay has won numerous awards in journalism and wedding photography. He won the Associated Press award for Photo of the century in 1998 and was named 2002 Clip Photographer of the year by the National Press Photographers Association. He has been published in numerous newspapers across the nation including The Washington Post, The New York Times, and The San Francisco Chronicle. He has also been published in magazines such as Sports Illustrated, Newsweek, The Sporting News, Shutter Magazine, Encore Magazine, and Outdoor Photography.
