Derek Nelson is a director of photography based in Brooklyn, NY.
Nice to meet you.
I’m influenced by the many photographers, DPs, directors, gaffers, editors, and creative directors I’ve worked with and learned from over the years. I truly enjoy each project and adapting this knowledge and experience to each shoot.
Outside of being a DP, I like to read and watch films and hope to one day explore the narrative process as a writer and director. I also stay busy with my family of eight and I coach their youth sports and volunteer in their schools.
