Meet your Instructor: Derek Sturman

I began photographing landscapes in July of 2015 while camping after picking up a DSLR camera. It was at that time that I began to experiment with long exposures and discovered my passion for fine art landscape and astrophotography. 

Though the majority of my work is centered on astrophotography, I have worked in several photographic fields including real estate and various product imaging. 

Some of the companies with whom I have partnered with or produced content for include:

Pictureline, Google, Amazon, Tamron, Foolography and Lume Cube. 

I'm proud to represent and recommend tools and brands that I trust and would recommend to close friends.

The outdoors and astrophotography is a deeply rooted passion of mine. I'm dedicated to providing my audience with knowledge and practical skills that will elevate your photographic abilities.
