Eric Steelberg

Eric Wesley Steelberg (born April 1, 1977) is an American cinematographer, known for his collaboration with director Jason Reitman.

Early life Steelberg was born in 1977 in the Northridge suburb of Los Angeles. His father was a lawyer while his mother was a homemaker.

He was interested in film and photography from a young age; in high school, he took photography classes and started a filmmaking club. Haskell Wexler once visited the club to discuss cinematography, which Steelberg described as "a religious experience for me and instrumental in becoming the resident camera geek".

After high school, he studied still photography at Santa Monica College and planned to transfer to the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television, but he left Santa Monica after two years without graduating. Both Juno and Up in the Air received Academy Award nominations for Best Picture.

In television, Steelberg has photographed the pilot episode of Lone Star and the second season of Eastbound & Down.
