The Photographer
Welcome to my site. I'm Derrick. I've stepped into the world of photography back in 2007. My 1st venture was into the graphics part of it all. I enjoyed editing and personalizing photos to what I wanted them to represent or what I see when I looked at them.
Later,I became more curious about actual photography. So,I took my curiosity to the nearest camera store to explore and get some hands on. I decided to purchase my 1st DSLR,and instantly became hooked.
Today,I've shot thousands and thousands of images. Exciting doesn't have enough letters in the word to describe the joy I feel when I press the shutter. From landscapes to portraits,I've shot a wide range of categories.
I took on challenges to help build my skill as a photographer. The 1st challenge I did was a project called "365''. A picture everyday,even sick days and holidays,for an entire year. The second project I did was called ''100 Strangers''. "Hey,I'm Derrick and I'm doing a self project to better myself as a photographer,do you mind if I photographed you'', I said to seems like the entire city. All in all,it was a great learning experience that I'm proud to have partaken in.
The genre I love shooting best is portrait. I guess that's something I picked up from the ''100 Strangers'' project. I love the emotions that can be captured in a person's eyes. The serenity in their looks. The confidence in a pose can tell someone's story. That's what I like to capture.
Thanks for visiting my site and I hope to see you in front of my lens soon.
