Derek Kettella is one of those photographers that can create a photograph that is much more than something to be glanced at and tossed to the side.
Instead, Derek’s photographs are ones that will make you want to linger on them for as long as possible.
There’s an art to his work, and it is more than fashion photographs too.
Although Derek began his career snapping action sports, he later moved from Canada to New York City where he took up fashion photography.
Since then, he has snapped images for magazines around the globe, from US Vogue to Glamour Italy to Harper’s Bazaar China, and has worked with a slew of fashion brands, from Anthropologie to Bloomingdale’s to Theory.
