You can add the name Eric Charbonneau to the parade of photo-credit names gracing images on The Hollywood Reporter website and weekly print magazine. He’s the latest photographer to sign with Invision, the multimedia entertainment agency owned by The Associated Press in partnership with its member photographers.

Charbonneau, a native of Montreal, was discovered at age 16 by Alan Berliner after coming down from Canada to attend college. The rest is Berliner Photography, WireImage and now, Invision history:

Charbonneau’s addition builds on Invision’s growing line-up of top-tier photographers, which includes John Shearer, Jon Furniss, Jordan Strauss, Matt Sayles, Todd Williamson, Casey Rodgers, Victoria Will, Evan Agostini and Chris Pizzello.

“Eric brings a wealth of experience to the Invision team and helps us increase our focus on providing best-in-class entertainment photography and assignment services,” said Dan Becker, managing director of Invision.

The LA-based Charbonneau just wrapped up one of his busiest weekends thanks to the Academy Awards, Vanity Fair Oscar party and more. His work will be licensed beyond THR through AP Images.
