DALLAS, TEXAS • SPORTS • FOOD • CORPORATE • PORTRAITS

It started
with a frame.

Growing up in Seattle, Aric Becker had a front-row seat to something special. One night, Michael Jordan — mid-jump, ball in hand. Aric didn't have a press credential. He had a seat in the stands and a camera. He took the shot anyway. That frame didn't make a magazine cover. But it made a photographer.

What Aric photographs — and why it's all the same thing.

THE WORK

WORK WITH ARIC

Sports. Food. Portraits. On the surface they look like three different businesses. But spend five minutes with Aric and the thread becomes clear: he photographs people who are exceptionally good at something.

The chef who has spent twenty years perfecting a single dish. The athlete who has trained their entire life for one moment. The senior standing at the edge of their biggest transition yet.

Every subject is an artist. Every session is a collaboration.
Every image is made — not taken.

His editorial work is distributed through Getty Images, AFP, USA Today, ISI Photos, and Icon Sportswire. His food photography has earned back-to-back shortlist recognition from the World Food Photography Awards in the prestigious James Beard category.

Great work starts with the right fit.
Let's find out if we have one.

Whether you're a restaurant needing images that make people hungry before they walk in the door, an athlete building a personal brand, a family wanting portraits that don't feel staged, or an editorial client who needs real wire service experience — Aric brings preparation, patience, and a genuine investment in your story.
