More Than a Photographer
A Storyteller of Connection
Meet Erik
I BELIEVE THE BEST IMAGES AREN’T STAGED. THEY’RE FELT.
I’ve spent over 17 years capturing stories that matter. My path to photography wasn’t about chasing trends or perfect poses — it’s about people. With a background in therapy and life coaching, I’ve learned that true artistry begins with connection. Photography became the way I could honor those connections, turning them into timeless stories people can hold onto.
Welcome to The
Art of Human Connection
Every person has a story worth telling. My role is to listen first, then guide you through an experience that feels natural, comfortable, and meaningful. The result? Imagery that’s both editorial and deeply human — photos that carry style, connection, and story.
CONNECTION – People before poses.
STYLE – Editorial artistry with intention.
STORY– Images that live beyond the moment.
-Erik Esaparza

WHY Ezekiel?
יְחֶזְקֵאל
Ezekiel is a perfect name for the company. In the Hebrew language, it translates to “The Strength of God,” which embodies the SPIRIT of life, creativity, and adventure.
It reflects my belief that photography is more than taking a snapshot—it’s about creating a legacy of moments that inspire and endure.
On My Down Time
When I am not shooting, I teach my boys how to be entrepreneurs, roam around Tulsa, scout different locations, interact with people, and develop innovative ideas to bring to the next event or shoot. The last goal is to transform Ezekiel (Z3KE) into a trademark of a superior lifestyle photography brand that clients can rely on and turn to in the next generation.

He took the time to meet with us in person to hear more about what we were looking for and what we wanted to capture on our big day. I was very impressed at his attention to detail! I also loved that he wanted to make sure we felt comfortable on the big day by offering a complimentary engagement shoot - that was where I first glimpsed the magic of his composure, editing and directing. I highly recommend Ezekiel e. Photography for an all-around superior experience that will leave you with cherished photos of the most incredible day of your life.
