"What one is trying to do is to try to make her look beautiful.
If you don't do that then you lose out.
And she loses out and that's a bore.
I think there is an actual pleasure in making someone look beautiful."
~Brian Duffy

"A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know."~ Diane Arbus

"Any photographer who says he's not a voyeur is either stupid or a liar."
- Helmut Newton, 1995

My name is Derek....

I am most widely known for shooting erotic photographs of dancers, burlesque performers,  escorts and many other people here in beautiful British Columbia, Canada.   

I do have a background as a music shooter also; having worked for some time in that genre in Toronto and Vancouver at MuchMusic, CITY TV and also shooting independent EPKs for rock bands and other musical ensembles. 

I also lived and worked in Arctic Canada (geographically further north of ANY town in Alaska) for three years and learned to shoot under VERY adverse conditions in sometimes the most beautiful (and occasionally the most dreary) lighting conditions imaginable.

I am happy with the shooting I do for work but would also dearly love to find a muse to explore some more well thought out, involved and complicated ideas with....PM for details on that one...*S*   

More examples of my work can be seen in many places online (email me for details) but the modelmayhem (here) site gets updated most frequently. 

Call or email... I am usually available.

Like many others here, I am extremely tired of flakes and no shows (can ya tell???  *S*).  I will be taking a non refundable deposit of $150 before booking a shoot with anyone. Period.

TFCD's are another matter and must be discussed well in advance so that we are both sure it will work for both of us.  Also.....
This is my living.... don't mess with it.

and for the sake of clarity......these are the rules........
If you flake....even once, I won't shoot with you.... period
