Hood River Photographer & Videographer
Eric Palmer Photography is a White Salmon, WA-based photographer and videographer serving the Columbia River Gorge, including Hood River, Bingen, and the surrounding wine and beer country. Eric brings a BFA in Photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design to every shoot, whether it’s a family portrait session on the Washington side of the river, a commercial shoot for a Gorge winery or brewery, or real estate and lodging photography for a local tourism business. Based right in White Salmon, Eric knows the light, the landscape, and the local business community — and shows up ready to deliver polished, professional images and video without the cost or delay of flying in an outside photographer.

Why Choose Eric Palmer Photography
Eric Palmer is one of the only Columbia River Gorge photographers who is also a working flight attendant for Horizon Air, part of the Alaska Air Group network. That means a growing portfolio shaped by travel across the West Coast and beyond, and — for clients — the ability to bring in outside perspective and travel-industry insight without paying a traveling photographer’s day rate. Combined with a BFA in Photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design, Eric offers the technical training of a formally educated photographer with the flexibility and travel access of an airline employee.
Serving White Salmon, Hood River & the Columbia River Gorge
White Salmon sits at the heart of the Columbia River Gorge, just across the river from Hood River, Oregon, and surrounded by some of the Pacific Northwest’s best wineries, breweries, cideries, and distilleries. Eric works with local tourism and hospitality businesses on both sides of the Gorge, as well as families and individuals who live in White Salmon, Bingen, Trout Lake, and the surrounding communities. Local means local: no travel fees, no unfamiliarity with the terrain, and a photographer who’s invested in the Gorge’s business community for the long term.
