Hi I’m Derek…
A trusted member of Production Paradise.
A commercial food, drink, and product photographer and videographer based in Scotland — with a background in graphic design and over 20 years of creative industry experience.
My work combines design-thinking with carefully crafted visuals, helping brands, agencies, and marketing teams create compelling content that captures attention and delivers results. From stop motion and interviews to product campaigns and social media content, I’ve worked across a wide range of formats to meet tight briefs, fast turnarounds, and complex brand goals.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with brilliant clients across the UK and beyond. But what matters most to me isn’t just the final image — it’s the creative relationships that make the work possible. The best results come when we collaborate, communicate well, and push ideas together.
If you're looking for a food, drink, or product photographer who understands how to balance creativity with commercial purpose, I’d love to hear about your next project.
Let’s start something great.
