About me:

..

Who I'd like to meet:

Anyone with other than normal tastes and style. Models, photographers, whoever...I'm pretty open! So if you're interested in being shot (hee, it's actually pretty painless, though sometimes the poses can get tiresome), or looking to do a colaboration of shootings, shoot me an email (note to self, stop making so many shooting references) (note to self, stop making notes to self in public areas)

Someone asked me where the name 'Bohemian Noir Visions' came from..I guess you would say that bohemian noir is the style of photography I've recently been cultivating.

bo·he·mi·an (bo-he'me-?n)
n.
"The term 'Bohemian' has come to be very commonly accepted in our day as the description of a certain kind of literary gipsey, no matter in what language he speaks, or what city he inhabits .... A Bohemian is simply an artist or littérateur who, consciously or unconsciously, secedes from conventionality in life and in art." ["Westminster Review," 1862]

noir(nwär)
adj.
1. Of or relating to the film noir genre.
2. Of or relating to a genre of crime literature featuring tough, cynical characters and bleak settings.
3. Suggestive of danger or violence.

"Blending traditional photographic techniques with modern digital technology, Derek's images are haunting images reminiscent of times lost, be it the shadowy backroom of a 1920’s speakeasy, or the smoke filled lounge of a 50's beatnik joint."

So for years now I've been playing with extended exposure shots, blacklit models, and other non-traditional styles of photography, this whole 'bohemian noir' feel is something new that I've fallen in love with.
