We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Eve Erskine. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Eve below.

Eve, appreciate you joining us today. Let’s jump to the end – what do you want to be remembered for?

I think people have an innate discomfort with the idea of their own impermanence, which is why so many focus on building a legacy that will outlive them. Personally, I don’t really feel the need to be remembered far beyond my years. What matters most to me is being remembered by the people I’ve loved, laughed with, and shared my life with.

I hope to be remembered for my passion and creativity and for the way I saw the world and expressed it through my art and photography. More than anything, I want to be remembered for my deep love of others, for my kindness, and for never being afraid to act a little strange. I want people to think of me and smile, knowing I was someone who embraced fun. All the best things come from having fun.

Of course, it would be incredible if something I create lives on and resonates with people beyond my own lifetime. Even if it’s just one person, the idea that my work could inspire or bring meaning to someone in the future is something truly special. But ultimately, the legacy I hope to build isn’t about grandeur or recognition, it’s about connection, creativity, and the love I shared with the people around me.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

Well, hi! My name is Eve, and I’m a photographer and student based in Salt Lake City, Utah. Art and creativity have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I was always drawn to art classes and spent my free time crafting, drawing, and experimenting with different mediums. While I’ve explored nearly every form of art, it was photography that truly captured my heart.

At my core, I am an observer. As a quiet and often anxious child, I naturally found myself watching the world from the sidelines, noticing the small moments others might overlook. When I first picked up a camera, it felt like I had finally found a way to translate my perspective into something tangible, a way to capture the moments that fascinated me most.

What sets me apart as a photographer is the very thing that led me to it in the first place, which is my deep appreciation for observation. I don’t just take photos, I seek out the in-between moments, unspoken gestures, and the beauty hidden in the everyday. Through my work, I strive to share the way I see the world, one thoughtful, intentional frame at a time.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

For me, the most rewarding part of being a creative is being able to express myself in ways that are unique to me and my perspective of the world. I find it very fulfilling to collaborate on projects with other creative people, who offer new insights and bring their own special attitudes and attributes to each project. It’s such a wonderful thing to be able to watch your ideas come to life.

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

My creative journey is always evolving and changing. One thing that motivates me constantly is the hunger for more information and knowledge. I love learning and practicing new skills that will help me with future endeavors, or even just for fun. All the things I love most in life have come from an innate urge to learn a skill that’s either practical, like changing the oil in my car, or more creative and fun, like making cyanotype prints. With photography, I was never satiated with just pointing and shooting, I craved to know how to take more interesting and purposeful images. It’s important in any journey, not just creative, to always ask questions and want to learn more about the things you’re passionate about.

As far as goals go, my main goal is to just have fun and connect with people.
