Let’s work together
Hello and welcome to my site! My name is Derek Giovanni, and I am a photographer that hails from Sacramento, California. So you want to know a little about me? While I do dabble in different types of photography, portraiture is my true passion. I have been shooting professional portrait imagery for the last eight years. There is something I love about working with different people to create stunning portrait imagery. I take pride in providing a calm and comfortable environment for my clients, while also focusing on making sure they receive images that make them happy for years to come.
I grew up in an extremely artistic environment. My father put a bass guitar in my hands when I was a child. I learned everything about playing music and even joined a couple rock bands while in school. I took this artistic passion for music into the theater, and I performed in various musicals in college and beyond. When my daughter was born, I had to re-focus my artistic need to something less time consuming. What did I do? I picked up a camera and started learning everything about how to create stunning images in my own time. Eventually, I started focusing on portrait photography. I fell in love with making people look and feel their absolute best in front of my lens.
I have worked with many families, seniors, models and influencers to create stunning imagery both for print and for posting to social media. I have also been lead photographer for events and weddings.
On Instagram, my work has been featured on many of the more prestigious portrait sites (Sony Portraits and P͎O͎D͎I͎U͎M͎ ᴘᴏʀᴛʀᴀɪᴛs). I have also worked with various modeling agencies in the Sacramento and San Francisco bay area to test images for many up-and-coming models in the area.
I currently provide photography services in the greater Sacramento and San Francisco bay area regions. I also travel to the northern California coast monthly (near Point Arena California), and I provide photography services from Bodega Bay up to Mendocino and Fort Bragg. I also love to travel to other places to shoot imagery so please do not hesitate to inquire about travel if you are interested in my services.
Again, thank you for checking out my page, and I hope to hear from you soon!
