About Me

Welcome to my page & my studio’s little nook of the interwebs.

I am looking to expand my business & I’m networking across platforms to work with more models & industry creatives.

I have been a model myself for over a decade & I understand the confidence, talent, & effort in being in front of the camera well. I’ve been behind the camera for the better part of a decade with a sharper focus in the last few years. I work with world class equipment & all the portfolio images on here are drastically resized & reduced in quality to accommodate site parameters. There are few sites online that can host the full depth of images I take & I am working on my own full-scale site set to launch later on.

I have a small, dedicated team for logistics, venues, make-up, & model support.  The studio’s objective remains poignant in achieving premier content ranging from complex high preparation to simple work. I pride myself on the model experience & take joy that every model I have ever filmed has done multiple shoots with me. 

I believe in minimal retouching of content. In a medium that is increasingly edited & soon to be saturated in AI images, I strive to create authentic, gorgeous content with enough planning & execution that there is minimal computer work. The only techniques that I utilize are cropping or resizing to meet each & any platforms allowed settings.  All these preview images took me about 1 minute per image to prep for Model Mayhem.

I work with experienced models as well as new models or those with little experience. I believe great coaching & teamwork promotes the best results. A few images on here are just models laughing & enjoying the shoot. Although these are not commercially as viable as others, I find them some of the best & most valuable of my work & those that bring the most joy to my models & my team. I am interested in collaborating & hiring models for a wide variety of genres. I am available for hire as a photographer for select jobs for portraiture, fashion, fitness, & adult/boudoir genres.

I am currently not traveling for photography work until next year within North America & Europe. 

Please review this small array of my work & message for more information.

Thank you for your time & consideration & creativity. Best.

"I had the pleasure of working with Derek recently, and I cannot express enough how amazing my experience was. From start to finish, he demonstrated the utmost professionalism and made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. First and foremost, Derek is an incredibly kind and accommodating individual. He went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and ease throughout the entire shoot. His clear and timely communication made the planning and preparation phase effortless. During the shoot itself, he created an atmosphere that was both relaxed and inspiring. His friendly demeanor and genuine passion for his craft immediately put me at ease, allowing me to feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Not only did he provide guidance and direction when needed, but he also encouraged me to express my own ideas and preferences, making the session a collaborative and creative experience. One thing that truly stood out to me was Derek's generosity. He generously shared his expertise and knowledge, Having snacks at hand, and lots more very kind gestures. He also went the extra mile by providing additional props and accessories to elevate the visual aesthetic, I am so grateful for that! When I received the final photos, I was blown away by the sheer quality and artistry displayed in each shot. I couldn't be happier with the outcome! Working together was an absolute pleasure, and it is without a doubt that I will be working with him again in the future. His professionalism, kindness, and talent are impeccable, and I would highly recommend his services to anyone seeking an amazing and safe photography experience. Thank you, for making the entire process not only memorable but truly exceptional." Read less
