I’ve realized why you’re an inspiration to me. Your photography is so unique. It may be of nude models, but it’s not porn. It is so fucking artistic, genius, well done, and unorthodox. Capturing emotion and beauty with an artistic and edgy twist is what sets you apart from hundreds of other photographers shooting nude models. A good photographer will capture subtle glimpses of magic other folk will pass by, and that’s what you do my friend. Cheers!

Well fuck those are all HUGE compliments sir.I always strive to capture emotion or a moment in every shot. Sometimes I pull it off and sometimes not but thank you so much for the compliment. Hopefully I can live up to that high bar!

Hi, this is actually a message for Julie. She doesn’t have a message tab so I’ll just send her fan mail through you. Please pass this on to her: Dear Julie, you are truly my number one idol. I adore how much confidence you have even with knowing Derek’s job. I could never do what you do without being constantly jealous and having self loathing. You’re so beautiful and one day I hope to be as confident as you are. (: Thank you for being my inspiration.

Hello There,

As requested Derek passed on your message, its me Julie!

Thank you so much for the compliment, and most of all your kind words! Hearing things like this actually inspire me, so thank you.

Have a great week. 😉

I am sure you are aware of this without me telling you, but I just wanted to say, that I hope that you an Julie really will stay together for ever (haha, this sounds like I am a teen, which I am not). I asked her a very personal question which bothers me a lot on her tumblr and she answerd in a very kind and the most helpful way. I don’t know her, but I am really sure that she is great. Just keep her forever!

Well thank you so much. Shes quite the sweet hart. I believe I recall that message, if we are thinking of the same one, and it was a great question.

One a lot of people ask us both frequently so I hope it was helpful for you. Best of luck to you and I plan to keep her forever!!

Do you think that EVERY woman is beautiful?

I think all women have the capacity for beauty in different forms.

The most aesthetically appealing women can be ugly by virtue of their personality. Conversely those considered not aesthetically attractive by conventional standards can be far more beautiful because of WHO they are. 

Personality to me is the most important source of beauty.

For photography there is always a line to walk because its an aesthetic art, but that by no means is restricted to conventional aesthetics.

Derek

I have to say, I love your photography and the creativity and drama you bring to our craft. I wish I could be half the badass you are!

Thank you! “Drama” is an interesting choice of words I like it. Its not something I am for but now that you say it I can see what you mean.

As for the badassness, really Im just a nerdy guy that just runs with what I like. I think thats the trick, just have the guts to do what you want to do, and the dedication to stick to it and hone your craft.

I started following you cause I have a mad crush on Julie and wanted to see more pics of her. But I have come to find that you are incredibly talented and your work is phenomenal. Not to mention you are super nice, down to earth and your positive attitude is contagious, man ( The booty vine videos aren’t bad either). So here’s to you, bro… You made me a fan.

Hahaha. I love this!! I can’t fault you one bit for following for crushing on Julie. Id do the same.

Thank you so much for the compliment.

My Vine isnt working on my phone because I moved to iOS7, so once thats fixed Ill get a TON more booty videos to come.

Thank you again and thank you for being a fan. Means a lot!!
