Born in Australia, Damien Van Der Vlist began his career shooting fashion at the age of 18. He moved to Sydney where he honed his photography skills and in 2006, began travelling extensively with his career. During this time, he shot in New Zealand, Italy and Germany, before eventually settling in London, where he has been based for the last six years.

Damien is best known for his conceptual approach to shooting fashion and advertising. His unique style incorporates visual storytelling, capturing the essence and narrative of the overall idea. This has enabled him to shoot for an array of published magazines, as well as repeat campaigns for independent labels within the UK.

His clients have included Air New Zealand, Nescafé, FHM, Highsnobiety, Black Magazine, Bloomberg Pursuits, Harry Stedman, MA.STRUM, Suprembeing and Realm & Empire to name a few.
