Erik Madigan Heck Biography:
Erik Madigan Heck (born 1983) is an American photographer born in Minneapolis, Minnesota currently living and working in New York City.
He is the Editor in Chief and Creative Director of Nomenus Quarterly [1], a hybrid publication available both online and in print as a limited edition series of folios, heralded “the world’s most expensive magazine” according to The New York Times [2]. His distinctive visual style and approach merges a rich understanding of art history, photographic techniques, and experimental soundscapes in his photographic and motion picture studies. He received his MFA at Parsons The New School for Design.
His mother, a painter, inspired his interest in painting and drawing throughout his childhood. Being drawn to the immediacy of photography and its transformative qualities early on, Heck would practice shooting one roll of film every Sunday with a camera that his mother gifted him, the same one he uses today. He developed a dedicated fascination with photography by the time he was 14 years old at which point he was in a darkroom every day at school learning how to develop and process film. Developing a sense of style at an uncommonly young age, he began working with designers such as Jean-Paul Gaultier, Rodarte, and Anne-Valerie Hash by the time he was 23 years old [3]. His main sources of inspiration include 19th century French painting and early 20th century Japanese photography.
He has worked with influential designers such as Ann Demeulemeester, Rick Owens, Rodarte, Valentino Couture, Jean-Paul Gaultier Couture, Christian Lacroix Couture, Lanvin, and Yohji Yamamoto [4].
In 2009, Heck was a keynote speaker at the Boom Design Conference in Sao Paulo, Brazil. In 2010, a touring exhibition of recent work funded by Acura and Ovation Television will be held in seven major U.S. cities. Additionally, Heck and Ann Demeulemeester, the avant-garde Belgian fashion designer, will exhibit 40 photographs from their collaboration, “Ann Demeulemeester: Male Retrospective, 1996-2009” in Antwerp, Belgium.
