As the owner of Anthony Derrick Photography I feel it necessary to divulge my reason for this visual insanity. I focus my true passion in life (photography) in order to produce images that are touching, amusing, inspiring, timeless and most importantly images that tell the story behind and within the souls of us all.

I am inspired when my work is able to tell the story of your special day. A m
emory of love and the day you chose to share it is an imprint in the time of your life and a reflection of your love. I want to capture who your child is at age 5, 10, 17 before the time flies away and a young adult has slipped in almost unnoticed. I am an avid animal lover and a puppy father of three, (Elvis Jr. Miss Pricilla and Lil Lisa Marie) and find great pleasure, humor and reward in seeing the multiple aspects and personalities of our four legged, finned and winged family members.

I am a business man. I understand the need to draw the eye of a customer. In the focus of business I work hard to help your business SHOW in the most alluring light to potential clients. YOUR image and how the public and your clients see you is vital. I am gifted at making a persuasive impact on your first impression.

Collage gave me my bachelor of arts in commercial art. A decade of newspaper photography helped me learn the speed and movement of life. We see our lives and our history through the miracle of photography. These images are more powerful than words and each one of us feels them. Not a single man, woman or child in our Country has not been touched by the images that capture our culture, our lives and our progression through time. That is my ultimate goal as a professional photographer, to be part of such a journey.

As a man I am influenced greatly by many sources and stimulations as we all are. I love to garden and through my diligence of the soil I find I have a natural patience that aids in my ability to capture the cycles of life. I have survived leukemia. At one time, long ago I thought I saw life. I did not. This battle has given me a zest for life that makes me unstoppable. My eyes are open.

I hope to help you see….and remember. Best in Life
