"When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world." --John Muir

Through the photographic medium, Beata & Eric Jarvis strive to capture the timeless, enduring, and often elusive soul of our planet. They seek to crystallize their vision in the photographic print, not only for themselves, but for others to enjoy. Through their passion for knowledge, for photography, and for one-another, they're able to harness a level of artistic purity which only those driven to experience life to the fullest can achieve. From a morning dewdrop on a blade of grass to a sunset panorama across the Grand Canyon, Beata & Eric find inspiration in all of nature's joys and mysteries.

 

Whether they are among the ruins of ancient temples at Angkor or at their home in Lake Tahoe, the Jarvis' commitment to preserving the treasures they find is unwavering. Eric hails from Northern California but has found inspiration for his imagery throughout the world. He and Beata met on a beach in Hungary near her hometown, a chance encounter that has propelled them together in their explorations.

Their divergent backgrounds, personalities and interests lead them on different paths photographically and artistically, but their shared love for the Earth and its creatures harmonizes their imagery. This allows Beata & Eric to present their work collectively as a dynamic team.

 

"As photographic artists, we have both opportunities and obligations. The opportunity is to explore at will; the challenge is to present the beautiful and the pristine so as to promote their conservation and preservation." -Beata & Eric Jarvis
