Founder & Producer

Originally from Sydney, Australia, Eddie's career began at the age of 19 when he moved to Paris to pursue photography. There, he began shooting for model agencies and developing his craft while working throughout France and across Europe.

At 25, Eddie moved to New York City to further his career. After spending several years assisting some of the industry's leading fashion photographers, he established himself as a fashion and beauty photographer in his own right, working with internationally recognized brands and creative teams.

His experiences on both sides of the camera ultimately inspired him to broaden his vision. In 2004, Eddie founded Creative Space Artists, bringing together artist representation, photography, motion and full-service production under one creative platform.

Over the years, CSA has evolved into an international creative resource representing photographers, directors, stylists and other creative talent, while producing work for brands, agencies and clients across the United States and internationally.

At the heart of Eddie's work is a longstanding commitment to discovering, developing and supporting creative talent. He believes strongly in helping artists identify their strengths, build meaningful careers and gain access to opportunities that may otherwise feel out of reach.

That commitment is also deeply personal. Drawing on his own childhood experience within the foster care system, Eddie has a particular interest in creating opportunities for young people who may not traditionally see a clear path into the creative industries.

This philosophy led to the development of the CSA Internship Program, created to introduce emerging talent to the professional creative world through hands-on experience, mentorship and training. The program is designed to help participants explore potential career paths in areas including photography, production, video, styling, hair and makeup, and other disciplines within the industry, with the goal of preparing promising candidates for professional assisting and entry-level opportunities.

For Eddie, Creative Space Artists has always been about more than producing great work. It is about bringing talented people together, developing creative potential and creating opportunities for others to build careers they may not once have imagined possible.
