Through the lens, every story is unique — and I’m here to capture yours. I’m Derek Shook, a photographer with a passion for honest, impactful storytelling. Whether it’s breaking news, intimate portraits, or striking editorial work, my goal is to create images that speak louder than words.
With years of experience in high-pressure environments and a keen eye for detail, I bring both grit and artistry to every frame. Based in Los Angeles, my work has been featured in national outlets, documentaries, and on the front lines of real moments that matter.

Would you like to emphasize any specific type of photography you do more — like photojournalism, portraits, celebrity, or events? I can tailor the tone and focus further.
I am a passionate and experienced photographer who loves what I do. I work closely with my clients to understand their needs and preferences, and I go above and beyond to ensure that every shoot is a success. I am dedicated to delivering the best results and creating a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all my clients.
I use only the latest and best Canon Mirrorless Camera equipment to ensure that my clients receive the highest quality images and videos available. From top-of-the-line cameras to professional studio lighting, I have everything I need to produce stunning photographs and videos that will exceed your expectations.
