Photographer

I began selling pictures in 2002, swimming out in the surf around South Australia, home of the Great White shark. By 2005 I'd become profficient with professional equipment, and began managing photographers at selected major sporting events, nationally and internationally, from Commonwealth to Asian Games and FINA events. In 2007 I began a co-partnership with Mike Brown developing Photoworx.com.au covering every sport at every level in Melbourne, Australia.

Since 2007 I've also been a fulltime newspaper photographer and have hundreds of published works in newspapers, culminating in 2010 as a senior photojournalist with a daily regional newspaper. I've travelled all over Australia, to the Middle East and in the Pacific Islands. In 2011 I now work for the largest selling newspaper in Australia.

    "I met Derrick here on Flickr and admire his fantastic work in all of his photography. He is truly a pro's pro!

    Even though he is a pro and Im just starting out, I was amazed at how much he is willing to help others and how much knowledge he has. I have sent him numerous questions and communicated my concerns to him and he is always willing to help me. His input is invaluable as there is a sea of information out there, but to find a source like Derrick who is accurate and truthful is very difficult to do.

    One of the many things I appreciate is that Derrick pulls no punches! He tells you the way it is and thats the way it should be. If you are doing something wrong he will let you know!! The best teachers are that way.

    I encourage everyone to vist his website and view his photostream. See for yourself how accomplished he is and enjoy his art and skill!

    thanks Derrick for helping me so much and I look forward to future correspondence with you!

    my best,

    Rick"
