Hi there,

I'm Derek Morrison

Let's get to know each other

Black and white portrait series showing person in gray button-down shirt against neutral backdrop.

Okay, let’s start with the fun bits: I love travel, adventure, surfing, snowboarding, craft beer, fine wine, and exploring new places. And, of course, I love photography and story telling.


From my studio to shooting on location, I love delivering professional photography that adds real, authentic value to my clients. I understand the importance of photography in grabbing attention and sharing a brand’s message in today's busy world.


I am a specialist in sports, adventure, tourism, architecture and rural assignments – I grew up on a farm! I work in both stills and film and have specialist equipment and training to shoot underwater (surface and dive), in drone and helicopter capture and I’m an expert when it comes to working in remote locations.


I’m extremely grateful to live a life exploring my passions ... let's work together!

feel an emotional response."
