Who we are

At Roadside Studios, photography is more than just a profession—it’s a lifelong passion. Founded by Eric Fergason and Hayley Zoroya, we bring over 25 years of experience behind the lens, a shared artistic vision, and a commitment to storytelling through imagery.

Eric has always been drawn to artistic expression, exploring various mediums before gravitating toward photography in high school. His perspective on the world, shaped by years of fine art photography and documentary work, drives him to share the beauty and emotion he sees in every frame. Hayley, an equally talented photographer and gifted watercolor artist, brings a refined creative vision to Roadside Studios. Acting as both art director and business strategist, her research-driven approach ensures every project is deeply informed and visually compelling.

Together, we have had the privilege of photographing some of the most captivating destinations and projects worldwide. From documenting an archaeological dig in Greece to capturing the vibrant energy of a fashion shoot and street photography in Bali and crafting fine art images across Europe and the American Southwest, our journey has been filled with unforgettable moments. Yet, no matter where our cameras take us, our hearts remain in the rugged landscapes of the Southwest, where history, nature, and artistry converge.

    “"ERIC DID AN AMAZING JOB! MY HUSBAND AND I ARE BOTH SO AWKWARD IN FRONT OF CAMERAS, BUT THE PICTURES HE GOT AND THE SCENERY WERE BEAUTIFUL! HE WAS VERY PREPARED, EASY TO WORK WITH, AND THERE WAS A QUICK TURNAROUND ON GETTING THE IMAGES BACK. I WOULD WORK WITH HIM AGAIN AND CANNOT RECOMMEND HIM ENOUGH!!"

    "WE NEEDED SOME LAST MINUTE PHOTOS FOR OUR INVITATIONS AND ERIC AND HAYLEY WERE SUPER ACCOMMODATING AND QUICK TO RESPOND! WE MET UP AT A BEAUTIFUL SPOT THEY SCOUTED IN SEDONA AND HAD A GREAT PHOTO SESSION-FREE FROM OTHER PEOPLE WALKING THROUGH OUR PHOTOS. SUPER EASY GOING COUPLE, FUN TO CHAT WITH AND HELPED US CAPTURE SOME BEAUTIFUL PICTURES IN SEDONA. THEY WERE VERY THOUGHTFUL AND PREPARED WITH PROPS, RUGS AND A PARKING PASS WE DIDN’T KNOW WE NEEDED!
