Photographers have different visions of what they want their Instagrams to be — strictly business or a mix of all that matters to them.

Not only is Erik Madigan Heck’s IG always visually interesting, but it helps AOC spread his intentions and the story of his own life and work. Stated simply — we spread his fairy dust in a world desperately in need of nature-inspired sparkles and our shared values.

In this sequence of three images greeting us today, we read a devoted birthday message to the photographer’s mother, who passed four years ago at age 66-7.

This February, the photographer also participated in a Sotheby’s Talks London ‘150 Years of Impressionism’ panel — which AOC will try to track down for the video.

Lastly, Erik Madigan Heck photographed US President Joe Biden at The White House on President’s Day 2024 for the New York Times Magazine.
