Derek’s love for photography began when he was just a teenager, working for one of the most prestigious portrait studios in his hometown of Tucson AZ. After leaving school he then learned a whole new set of skills during his time working for Walt Disney World Entertainment/Photo Imaging. Now back in his native west coast, he is taking on new challenges in videography/photgraphy and Voice Over. Though he wears many hats (Shooter, director, editor, actor, voice-over artist) he will always make time to jump behind a lens and practice his first love… photography.
