Creative Portraits

Take advantage of my vast studio portrait experience. Artistic portraits won me dozens of international awards & medals. You may love and cherish your new portraits!

I specialize in fine off-camera lighting creating dramatic artistic effects. Such fine portraits can be done solo or for 2-3 persons together, in a studio-like setup using pro strobe lighting and backgrounds, or outdoors in nature, using set of flash lights. Either way – you are for something really fine – portraits to cherrish or to promote you well above average. We are not talking passport photos here!

Studio-Style Portrait Photo Sessions

Fine traditional portraits, fantasy involving elaborate dresses and props, makeup and props, black and white, fine art nudes or implied nudes, boudoir, high fashion style – either full body or head & shoulders – which is great also for hair designer photos, makeup artists, and more.

You will have fun and get photos to love for life-time! And, of course more official, traditional portraits with artistic touch are available too. I did official portraits of Premier of Montserrat, among others.

Outdoor In Nature Creative Portraits

Imagine yourself under a waterfall, with shiny droplets of water splashing off your head, or you blending with dark background of juicy greens of tropical forest. How about sunny portraits at ocean’s edge, with blues softened by the lens’ focus?

Nature portraits are crafted to your special request – regardless of style. Be it fashion or implied nude, or a fantasy shoot. You will be professionally guided as needed for best poses and expressions, and will get amazing images. You can be local, or enhance your Dominica visit with a memorable photo session, or you can hire me on surrounding islands. You will love and treasure your portraits – let my experience make a difference for you!

Hello, nice to see you here!

Fine Portraits – one of these things I do best!

This is my photography service both for visitors to Dominica, and our local clientele. While enjoying your time in Dominica (or a nearby island) you can hire me for a private creative photo session. You will have fun modelling and you’ll go back with portraits to treasure for life, or to boost your business appearance. If you are local – it’s even easier. Call me, and let me do some magic for you! I can also advice you on basics of modelling, so you will look your best!

Portraits can be many things. From passport photos or quick selfies, candid photography, to masterful fine-art images making your jaw drop. I prefer the later style, and I spent countless hours of my life working on these. No matter what style – modern and funky, traditional, or glamour – we can together make something extraordinary. Vast creative editing experience adds to the visual impact of portraits I can create for you. Large, top quality prints also available.

It is mostly my creative portraits that won me international awards and medals, being displayed on exhibitions all over the world. If you need just average snapshots, you may be better off with someone else, or with your selfie-snapping cell phone. But if you are ready for some fine a work with a difference – contact me for details and to book your session.

Be it intimate portraits for your private or family album, boudoir photos for your loved one, or stunning images to boost your career – my photos will give you joy and will work harder for you.
Thank you. @DerekGalon
