Hi, I’m Derek. For me, photography is permission to take a beat and just be. It is the privilege to soak in the scene of the moment and capture the light, colors, movement, and emotions in a time capsule.
I am based in Orange County, CA. However, my photography knows no bounds. You will see that my passion has taken me across the globe and I am excited for the upcoming opportunities to document the road traveled.
I appreciate you taking the time to view my gallery. It is a treat for me to put my artwork out into the world. If there is a photo that really speaks to you, feel free to share your thoughts with me. Custom prints are available upon request. I can be reached directly via email at dpantele@gmail.com.
