"I live on the challenge, detail, and problem solving that my job requires. And I know that the creation of a truly unique and impactful campaign involves many moving pieces to intertwine harmoniously.

Everyone on my set works together as a team and brings their skills and years of experience to solve that complicated equation of lighting, propping, and styling. Together we find the balance and then I refine and finish it with some post-processing finesse.

When it’s time to create playful animated content, I really enjoy bringing out the personality of what’s on set and really letting it shine.

My specialties are food, lifestyle, and product still life photography. While I’m located on the east coast of Central Florida, I shoot for clients all over the country."

"My name is Demetrius Philp, Jamaican-born. A photographer that specialises in portraiture with the common aesthetics of editorial, celebrity, lifestyle and fine art. I work in California, travel when needed.

I pride myself in creating imagery that conveys the essence of a person, tapping into their humility and vulnerability to draw out their true authenticity. This is what I call the essence of individuality. I am constantly pushing myself and the medium to curate images that speak volumes and spark conversation.

I proudly bring my culture with me to each set I step on in an effort to expand the world of imagery as it continues to grasp the idea that we, Black creatives and talents have something important to offer.

In my photographs, I seek to share feelings, communicate moods and vibes, and present the world through the lens of Black artistry."
