My name is Derek & welcome to my studio. I'm a 3rd generation Denverite & I absolutely love Denver!! I love the city, fashion, fitness, interior design, & all things fancy. I stay busy by constantly honing my crafts working as a photographer, videographer, editor, model, writer, & working in finance as well. I love all my work & it's not difficult devoting my time to clients.
I've worked with & for a wide variety of clients. I've photographed C-Suite professionals from CEO's, CFO's, company presidents, & members of the board for business photography. I've had my images published in investment decks, & corporate & commercial websites. I've worked with published models, cover girls, fashion models with well over a decade of industry experience, fitness & wellness competition champions, small business owners, everyday people, & aspiring models to name a few. I'm happy to take the best pet portraits for you & your furry friends as well, I love animals!
One of the best parts of the job is showing clients their first images from my powerful medium format camera & prime lens. I'm happy to produce the best images for yourself, your brand, or your business.
If you need a single crisp shot or a thousand my services are for you. My emphasis is on service & execution. Take a gander at my portfolios on here, with much more on the way. Reach out to create content to drive your business or capture moments for family & friends. Thank you for your time.
Warmest Regards,
D
Services
I offer many different types of photography. The portfolio categories above are the majority of the genres I shoot, however if you have a photography need that isn't precisely listed please still reach out. There is a lot of cross-over between styles of photography. All my services are booked based on time so if your needs blend we can still make it happen.
The times listed per session describe the time we will be doing the actual shooting in front of the camera. I spend a lot of time planning & designing our shoot in pre-production. Post-production includes selecting, re-sizing, editing, & delivery to complete your entire service. Unlike most photographers I do not place hard limits on the quantity of shots you will receive. All successful images will be given to you. The original shots can have massive file sizes with my equipment, in some cases digital file transfer is applicable however it's best for certain clients to receive a zip drive. Clients that desire digital prints, metal prints, glass prints, or albums will have extended delivery times & printing costs are additional to the client.
Editing & some retouching is included. Editing or culling shots is simply selecting the best & most pertinent images that a client needs. These also only require quick cropping or tilt adjustments. Retouching takes longer & is included on less quantity of shots. I would note, ALL images in my portfolios above have ZERO retouching. There are no color adjustments, blemish removal, or enhancements. This is my preference to deliver authentic, well-executed photographs. I do understand greatly clients that require final product to have a degree of retouching & of course I can execute this for my clients.
I offer ultra 4k30fps or 1080/60fps video clips with my camera. Video work tends to be for personal sites, business sites, or social media posts & can range from under a minute, 3 minute standard, or 8 minute standard shorts. Video & still photography can both be organized into a single session if that is what a client needs & I'm happy to do it for you. Editing of clips takes longer & will delay final delivery.
In general I have 4-options for booking. You can see below the options & prices. 3rd party or commercial venue costs are the responsibility of the client & I have access to so many options in Denver! I'm happy to discuss during our pre-production call to execute the best shoot possible for you. Included in the pricing is shooting at one of my several private studios. Shooting in a public venue passes zero cost onto the client as well. A bit of info to help you select the best option for you.
1-hour targeted sessions: These are ideal for business headshots & individual portraits. Think of them a 1-3 outfits & single setting.
2.5 hour sessions: These are best for multiple outfits & settings, couples, or business shoots for personal brand development. It will give us enough time to have mini breaks while still casting a wider variety of shooting techniques, angles, & settings. 2.5hr shoots can yield hundreds of shots & have great pacing.
4hr half days: These shoots are full productions. They will entail many setups & possibly multiple locations. Great for full modeling portfolios & the ability to create tons of content in a single day efficiently.
8hr full day shoots: Full day shoots are often commercial in nature & can be used with multiple models, settings, locations, & high levels of collaboration for pre-production, shoot day, & post-production.
