Eric Guzman


Dark Portrait, Fashion, Cosplay, Fantasy, Action Sports & Event Photographer /Videographer

I’m Eric Guzman, a San Antonio-based photographer and videographer, U.S. Air Force veteran, and aerospace engineer. I earned my mechanical engineering degree from UTSA with a specialization in aerospace, but after years in engineering, I chose to build a creative career around visual storytelling while creating more time for my family.


I’ve spent nearly a decade behind the camera, beginning with street, architecture, landscape, and wildlife photography before expanding into portraits, events, sports, and video production.


Today, my work blends technical precision with a love for dark, cinematic storytelling. I create photography and videography centered around gothic portraits, fashion, cosplay, fantasy concepts, action sports, weddings, and events, with an emphasis on emotion, atmosphere, movement, and authentic moments.


Whether I’m building a detailed creative concept, filming a cinematic sequence, or capturing fast-paced action as it unfolds, my goal is the same: to create bold, memorable visuals that feel intentional, immersive, and true to the people and stories in front of my camera.

What I Believe

The strongest images live between control and chaos within the movement, tension, dramatic light, and split-second moments that can never be recreated.

I’m drawn to people and moments with presence. An athlete seconds before the action, a character fully stepping into their world, a room just before it comes alive, or a portrait where the expression already says enough. That’s the energy I look for in every frame. Whether I’m photographing a dark creative concept, cosplay, sports, an event, or a wedding, I want the images to feel cinematic, powerful, and difficult to forget.

Engagement Photography Session

Happy family swings young child between them while walking on a bridge outdoors.

Eric provided my wife and I with some amazing pregnancy pictures. He offered up multiple locations, scoped out said places and made the vision my wife and I had come to fulfillment. He captured some amazing planned and candid shots. Very professional and helped us with the proper poses. Definitely recommend Eric Guzman Photography
