Eric Dusenbery (B.A. Cinema & Photography, Southern Illinois University), is a documentary photographer, an award-winning journalist and a communications specialist. He is the recipient of several grants and sponsorships, including the Florida Humanities Council, Duke Energy, County of Volusia , Florida Dairy Farmers and the Cultural Alliance of York, to produce documentary projects that tell stories to preserve the human spirit and to educate and promote an appreciation for the rich cultural identity of the United States. He frequently uses the traditions of the large format film camera for documentary and commissioned projects that harken back to the Farm Security Administration photographers of the mid-20th century. His photography has been widely exhibited and his work has appeared in numerous national publications. Research and documentary interests include: rural and small town cultural studies; industrial diversity; ethnography; historic architecture; large-format environmental portraiture; human interest; analog photography.
In his spare time, Eric loves traveling and is also curious about finding the perfect fried grouper sandwich, excellent coffee; great books (To Kill a Mockingbird; Blue Highways; All Creatures Great and Small); and the occasional good cigar. And, he loves getting away from the computer and the digital world by using film, darkroom and traditional photography.
