Sometimes I get to talk to photographers and it feels like I am living my dreams through their lens. Erik Kuna is one of those occasions. Erik is Rocket Photographer… let me just stop there for a second. He photographs rockets. How cool is that! Looking through his portfolio is a pure geek-out moment. Erik photographs launches for NASA, SpaceX, United Launch Alliance, and Orbital ATK from spaceports around the USA. I just used the word “spaceports” in a blog post, there has to be extra points for that. He cover launches for various mew media outlets, magazines, and for actual space agencies around the world. His goal? To create images that help educate people on the space industry.images, and that inspire people to learn more about space exploration. That education theme is a key part of Erik. You see, Erik Kuna is also the Vice President of Operations for KelbyOne, the online training site.
