Wedding photography requires not just the eye for details and moving moments. It also requires dedication in making couples feel extra special on their big day, and a continuing passion to improve one's craft. It is that commitment that allows Redfox Photography's Derek delos Santos to excel in his profession.
At a young age, Derek has already developed a passion for the visual arts. His interest in drawing and painting led him to get into photography in 2001, and then eventually into wedding photography in 2005. Capitalizing on his artistic talent and passion, Derek opened Redfox Photography for two reasons. He wanted to elevate wedding images into an art form, and he wanted to capture the unique personalities of his clients.
As one who does lifestyle, fashion and contemporary fine art photography, Derek continuously develops a style that's his own. To keep up with the ever-changing wedding industry, which Derek describes as "fun, adventurous, and creative," Derek aims for a timeless style. He likes taking stylized wedding portraits that make couples look and feel beautiful. With his skills and determination, Derek has won numerous national print competitions from the Wedding and Portrait Photography of the Philippines (WPPP) Association.
In the wedding industry for more than a decade, Derek has witnessed the development of new photography styles. To cater to a variety of tastes, Redfox Photography specializes in two photography styles: lifestyle photography and fashion photography.
Lifestyle photography allows Derek to translate his clients' personalities in photos as the bride and the groom interact in a laid-back atmosphere. The photos are usually bright and cheery, capturing that pleasant mood. On the other hand, contemporary fashion photography is a way for Derek to present his clients in a glamorous and sensual light. With generally edgier photos, this style perfectly suits the sophisticated style. Whichever style a couple likes, Derek makes sure that as he innovates his craft, there is life, movement, and emotion in every photo he takes. The client's special day are immortalized in carefully shaped imagery.
In order to deliver the best of their services,Redfox Photography gives their couples free prenuptial shoot sessions. Through the bonus photoshoot, the photography team and the couple establish rapport with each other. Moreover, the opportunity allows the couple to practice posing, and doing so will give them immense confidence on the big day.
In connecting with his clients, Derek is able to bring out their personalities and showcase a variety of styles. He can go from fun and laidback,to glamorous and adventurous, making him go beyond being just a documenter--he becomes a creator of artistic personal images. As he practices lifestyle, fashion, and contemporary fine art photography, Derek continually lives out his love for the arts, and at the same time share his passion with people in love.
