"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."

"It was just six weeks after my last day of high school and my job was fighting wildfires- something I was proud to do in defense of the forests. I later learned the stinging paradox that the very act of fire suppression itself was killing the mountain ecosystems I loved.

In my years since fighting fires I have managed to keep things interesting - I completed a 222 mile solo hike of the John Muir Trail in the Sierra Nevadas; organized a rescue of my friends while we were being robbed by gunmen; snuck back into the US from France at O'Hare airport (post 9/11); and cheated death a few times.

All my life I wanted to be a photographer and work outdoors. I’ve driven 285,000 miles shooting for clients throughout the US and covered over 2500 square miles on helicopter assignments. And I hunted down and photographed the elusive 020 Pavilion for a personal project, which won an AIA LA Architectural Photography Award."
