About Me

Thank you & Welcome to the page wink

Worked with about 50 models in just under 2 years, only a portion are posted here smile

Models coming to Colorado, feel free to reach out, however I do not shoot in the mountains, I work in penthouses, rooftops, clock towers, etc. 90% of the time I shoot in natural light. Work in medium format for photography & Ultra 4k Full Cinema Sensor & Mini Gimbal 3k/4k for video.   

Next trip: Utah Spring 2026

Traveling shoots will include all forms of media, stills with medium format camera system, Ultra 4k Cinema video, 3K/4K Gimbal, Drone footage in vertical & landscape for all platforms. 

I have been a model myself for over a decade & have the utmost respect & understanding what all kinds of modeling takes from pre-production, shoot day, & post-production & strive to have the best model experiences. Nearly all my models re-book & shoot multiple times with me.

I work with very experienced models, cover girls, as well as brand new models & everyone in between. I am interested in collaborating & hiring models for a wide variety of genres.

Currently in training to be MUA as well smile

I am available for hire as a photographer for very select jobs for portraiture, fashion, fitness, boudoir, & adult content.

Thank you creative beautiful humans! 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!
