A designer by profession, Ed Hebert is enjoying his lifelong journey in the craft of photography.

Having formally studied photography at Boston University, Brown, and the Rhode Island School of Design, Ed continues to refine his own style through personal experimentation. He credits the work of Ernst Haas, Keld Helmer-Petersen, Harry Callahan, Walker Evans, and Wright Morris as especially strong influences on the development of his own personal photographic approach.

Ed's photographs have appeared in publications such as Yankee, Catalyst, and Inversion magazines. His work has also been featured by organizations ranging from large corporations to non-profits. He teaches ongoing workshops on conventional wet process, alt-process, and digital photography techniques.

His photography is most strongly punctuated by a continual reinforcement of controlled perspective. He often eliminates or exaggerates dimensional perspective in his compositions, creating photographs that might resemble anything from simple two-dimensional folk art paintings to surreal compositions with blade-thin depth of field. His print process blends a variety of photographic techniques ranging from salted-paper and platinum printmaking to Photoshop manipulations, further reinforcing his artistic intent. His portfolio combines both traditional wet-process and alt-process photography prints with modern digital production and manipulation - sometimes all at once.

Much of Ed's work is captured using fast, normal focal length lenses. He's collected many vintage 50mm lenses which he couples to his 35mm and digital cameras. Ed uses Leica 35mm rangefinder film cameras, Canon full-frame dSLRs, medium format rangefinders, antique folding cameras, and toy cameras.
