NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Derek Nielsen

20-plus years ago, I remember going into a job I hated, needing to find something to make my work day more tolerable. That is when I bought my first camera. Since then, I have traveled to all seven continents pursuing my dream as a nature and wildlife photographer. Over those years, I have made every mistake you can imagine, from blurry images, dropped gear, to being attacked by bees in the jungle. 

I am now passionate about helping other photographers avoid these same mistakes while learning how to create beautiful images, and if desired, make serious money doing so. With satisfied customers and collectors across the globe, I'm here to guide you every step of the way to reaching your goal of what you want photography to be in your life. 

 

Don't Just Take My Word For It...

"If you wish to purchase art with a purpose, you will be more than delightfully surprised by the heart, quality, or composition done by Derek. His work supports other organisations within the conservation space. Truly, gorgeous and meaningful work! Stay Wild!"

- National Geographic's Dr. Gabby Wild

 

"Simply said, Derek is one of the finest human beings I’ve ever known. His innate kindness, humor, and empathy reflect in everything he is and does, but particularly so in his photography.

One simply cannot just “look” at Derek’s wildlife photography. We are drawn in, exposed, humbled.

I am unabashedly proud to own one of Derek’s elephant images, “Beholder.” Every day, she calms and regenerates me. She’s my spirit animal."

- Deborah Johnson

"If there is a more congenial, knowledgeable, or intelligent photographer available, I have not met that person.
Derek will take your skill set to a new level. He is passionate, articulate, and without pretense.
I thoroughly enjoyed my hours with him, and if I could give him 6 stars, I would.
WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE."

- Robert Balestrero

What is the cost of not pursuing your dream and becoming a great photographer?

Imagine always wondering what would have happened if you had only invested in yourself and your passions. Think about how quickly life goes. Don't wait  for tomorrow to do the things you have been thinking about doing! Take the trip. Start that business. Invest in yourself. Without photography, I don't know what my life would look like but it would be a lot less inspiring. Don't let another day go by without creating the life you truly want.
