Boston-based Photographer

I am a street and product photographer based in the Boston area. When I’m not on the street I enjoy working with clients to create images that reflect their vision and then notching up the quality. I work with a variety of clients, ranging from private clients to commercial business owners.

Rising Filmmaker

I am currently studying short film production at Middlesex Community College, and working in the field as a producer and assistant director. Check out my first silent short film “Dead Battery” if you’re interested!

Classical Guitarist

Asmund Erickson has taken lessons with guitar virtuoso Jérôme Mouffe since the age of five. He has performed as a soloist in multiple shows and recitals, including a full length solo recital in Kagoshima, Japan. He is also a prize winner at Boston GuitarFest, Southern Guitar Competition, and Florida State University Guitar Competition. In late 2022 he released his first full length CD to great praise. In spring of 2023 he recorded short demos for the Music Emporium in Lexington, MA which can be seen on YouTube.

Asmund Erickson Vol. I

For my introductory album, I wanted to record a cohesive program that flowed together naturally, rather than simply choose my favorite pieces. With this approach in mind, I have selected works by three significant South American composers. These 20th century masters are truly in a class of their own, having created some of the greatest pieces for the classical guitar. From the Paraguayan music of Barrios to the rhythmical Venezuelan music of Lauro, I strove to retain the energy and rhythm that these great composers embody in their work.

Special thanks for Dr. Jérôme Mouffe who as guided my playing for so many years.
