BEHIND THE CAMERA

Hey, I'm Derrick.
Come as you are.

I’m the photographer behind DEM Photography in Raleigh, North Carolina. I got into photography because I always felt I could catch that perfect moment—I just hadn’t explored that side of myself yet. I started DEM to help people hold onto the moments they want to relive and show who they truly are.

A shoot with me is relaxed. I’m usually looking around for an interesting angle, cracking a joke, or telling you to act like I’m not even there. For portraits, I like to bring a speaker so we can have some music playing while we shoot. If being in front of a camera feels awkward, that’s okay. We’ll take our time and settle into it together.

Whether it’s a portrait, a night out, or a special event, I want you to look at your photos and feel empowered to be yourself—and feel like you’re right back in that moment we captured together.
