“If you learn to shoot with your heart, you’ll move people’s souls!” A good friend & mentor said that to Eric Seals years ago. It’s something he still thinks about working as a Photo & Video Journalist at the Detroit Free Press where he’s been since 1999. Over the years Eric has covered many events for the Free Press from two Intifadas in Israel/Palestine, five months in the war on Iraq & many sports from the Olympics in Rio, Beijing and South Korea to several Super Bowls, World Series, College Football National Championships & NBA Finals. Eric has been recognized for his photo and video storytelling with a 2016 national Edward R. Murrow award, a national Webby Award, multiple Michigan Press Photographer Association Multimedia Photographer of the Year awards, several POYi awards and nine regional Emmys.
