About High V Media

Photography is so much more than taking a picture of someone or something. It’s about stilling a meaningful moment in time so you can reminisce on it in the future with loved ones or by yourself. It’s about how beautifully or dramatically, how seriously or playfully you want to be represented to the world if you’re a business. It’s about pleasant self expression and infinitely more. A photo, when properly taken... can be worth a million words rather than just a thousand. What you need is a photographer that understand that and is willing to put in the required time and effort to make that happen. And I am that photographer.

Derek is reliable, affordable & will do his best to accommodate your schedule. We booked him about a week out for business / professional headshots and he was able to schedule us in. Definitely recommend!

He is kind snd professional. He values his customers. The edits were okay in my opinion, which is why I gave 3 stars. However, his overall work based on other reviews seems good.

Derrick was awesome! He was kind and acute to what we wanted. He went above and beyond what I asked for and captured our family’s personality. Great experience!!

I had such a great shoot it was super fun and he made everything really relaxed. He helped me a lot with poses and expressions. Overall such a good experience!

Milen T.Sep 2022

The photos were phenomenal! Considering he captured a large family reunion along with individual family photos with LOTS of young kids (between 4-9 years old), his professionalism and skills were proven. He was more than accommodating with switching locations for us & did an amazing job! Would HIGHLY recommend! 10/10 for sure!

Oh my goodness!! I’ve been modeling professionally for almost a year now and I’ve had so many weird and bad experiences with photographers but Derek is amazing! I didn’t tell him I was bringing my boyfriend but he was totally cool with him being there and was very hospitable and made us both comfortable. Sometimes I can be shy when posing but he made it feel like such a safe place for creativity. He showed me the photos for my headshots as we were taking them and my breath was taken away. Super great guy and I would definitely recommend him for any project of yours.

Derek did such a good job making me feel comfortable and at ease during the photos! I was initially a little nervous but he was really welcoming and friendly which made me feel calm and comfortable. He also suggested different locations and poses and they worked out perfectly! I am really happy with the photos that he took! 10/10 would recommend !

Payal B.Mar 2022

I booked for my bachelorette shoot - We had so much fun shooting and everything was smooth and easy to coordinate. He took the time to let us suggest things and he did the same back based on his experience - he worked with exactly what we wanted and the results were amazing! Highly recommend 😊

The photographer was extremely responsive and easy to coordinate with even from afar.

Ashley M.Dec 2021

Derek was so calm & knowledgeable! My kids enjoyed asking him questions about our location & he helped to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera!! Would definitely recommend & use again!

Toni R.Dec 2021

This was my first time hiring a photographer. I was so nervous but Derek made it so easy to communicate and figure everything out. I was beyond impressed with his professionalism on figuring out the look I wanted for my photos. He guided me through poses, suggested great tips, and made me feel like we were old friends just snapping shots. His attention to detail is great. He gets the photos back to you quickly and not just a few photos he gives you all of them! I highly recommend Derek and will definitely use him in the future!

Jesslin C.Nov 2021

Love how Derek was so attentive and understanding of all those taking headshots. He made everyone feel comfortable and was very understanding when a few of the students were nervous. Cannot wait to hire him again!
