Født: 25-3-1962 i Zürich, Schweiz Eric Kress, der er søn af Jean Kress og hustru Lili Wadt Petersen, blev uddannet som filmfotograf på Den Danske Filmskole fra 1987 til 1991. Efter et par års tilløb begyndte det at gå stærkt og han har siden bragt sig i den absolutte superliga blandt danske filmfotografer. Det begyndte med novellefilmen "Kalder Katrine" i 1993 og hans arbejde på Lars von Triers "Riget" vakte opsigt og skaffede ham i 1994 hans første Robert. Siden stod han billedmæssigt i spidsen for bl.a. "Ørnens øje" og "Albert". I 2000 fik Eric Kress sit helt store gennembrud som fotograf på ikke mindre end tre af årets mest markante film, nemlig "Her i nærheden", "Mirakel" og "Blinkende lygter". Siden har Eric Kress i tiåret derefter taget hånd om flere store tv-serier, bl.a. afsnit af "Ørnen", "Forbrydelsen", "Manden med de gyldne ører", "Den som dræber" og "Borgen". Han har dog ikke svigtet filmkunsten og har bl.a. været fotograf på spillefilmene "En kort en lang", "Blå mænd" og "Julefrokosten", ligesom han filmede de fornemme interiører i Mikkel Munch-Fals' debutfilm "Smukke mennesker". Et internationalt publikum fik igen lejlighed til at se Eric Kress i aktion, da han i 2009 stod bag kameraet på Niels Arden Oplevs succesrige filmatisering af "Mænd, der hader kvinder". Udover spillefilm har Eric Kress været fotograf på industri- og dokumentarfilm samt mange reklamefilm. Han var blandt de nominerede og modtog juryens særpris for sit arbejde med filmen "Her i nærheden" i forbindelse med uddelingen af den internationale filmfotografpris Da Vinci Award i Palm Springs i USA. På fotograffestivalen Camerimage 2000 i Lódz modtog han Det Polske Kulturministeriums særpris for samme film. Ved filmfestivalen i Göteborg 2001 vandt han Nordic Screen Award for billeder til "Blinkende lygter" og blev også hædret med Danmarks Films Akademi's Robert-pris for samme film. Desuden modtog han Johan Ankerstjernes Fotografpris ved Bodil-festen i 2001. I 2011 fik han endvidere TV-prisen for tv-serien "Den som dræber". Eric Kress er gift med Pia Birgitta Ekedahl Kress.
