Another equally fulfilling activity for Eric is playing guitar with groups of musician friends who are into jazz, fusion, funk and off-shoots from these genres. Eric also hosts Funk 'n' Fusion - a weekly radio programme on CampusFM, the University of Malta' s radio station. Hence the ideal combination of interests - photographing the guests at the Malta Jazz Festival since its first edition.

Eric is an honours graduate in Communication Studies from the University of Malta and is currently reading for a Master of Arts degree in Integrated Marketing Communications.

Apart from his interest in photographing musical and theatrical events like the Malta Jazz Festival, Eric's mainstay is stock and travel photography of Maltese and Mediterranean scenics, underwater photography and creation of 360 degree panoramics.
