Derek studied Photography and Art at Watford College, UK in the early 1980’s and subsequently found work in various Photographers studios in Hertfordshire England as well as working freelance, following several rock bands that were touring London during that time. But the eighties were a difficult time to find that perfect photographic job, so seeking to diversify, he studied Radiography and found the opportunity to work in the north of England and kept photography as a hobby. Although not as glamorous as photographing beautiful models, this new career path was interesting and actually allowed him to pay the rent, Digital photography provided the spark to relight the photographic passion and it was not until moving to France in 1999 that Derek had the time and opportunity to travel widely and start working on his Portfolio. “The footsteps in Tibet ( le toit du Monde )” is a collection of images.
