I'd like to meet:To look at it - it's just a camera but that depends on who is taking the photo. Derek Blanks is a talent unlike others who share his craft. A photoshoot by any other name is not the same - and you would have to experience a shoot with him to realize that fact. His work speaks for itself. From illustrations, graphic design, paintings and photography - Derek Blanks is a connoisseur of imagery.His client roster ranges from high-profile celebrities to homemakers. Even the most experienced models find themselves reviewing their images as though they are looking at someone other than themselves. I walked in shy and uncomfortable and left my photo session and felt like I was ready for the cover of VOGUE, says one client after her very first photo session with Derek. Derek knew he would be an artist from the moment he could write. Born and raised in Mississippi, his mother realized his talent and enrolled Derek in special art schools. His talent did not go unnoticed as he grew older. By the time he was ready for college, Derek selected to attend the Maryland Institute College of Art, where he studied fine arts and commercial illustration. He graduated Magna Cum Laude, receiving his bachelors in Fine Arts. While in Baltimore, he worked both as a painter and a freelance designer for several prominent clients such as The Walters Art Gallery, The Baltimore Sun, and the city paper. His love for the south brought Derek to Atlanta, where he has become a prominent and dedicated artist, illustrator, designer, and photographer. Word soon spread of the new talent in Atlanta, and soon Derek had his pick of capable assistants. Among those vying for the opportunity is Mississippi resident Mick Nash who literally travels the six and half hour distance for a chance to work with Derek Blanks. I have seen Derek place the most unusual elements together to form unique, but beautiful, transformations, says Nash. His works of art are tangible illusions. Derek uses his subjects to illustrate an underlying story or meaning. Derek's comical and quirky personality shines through all of his pictures. Whether it's his graphic designs, painting or photographs there is always a concept present. While this humble photographer might be the last to admit his talent, he would be the first to offer his gift to the community. Derek's art was recently featured in the African American Children's book "Up the Learning Tree". His illustrations can also be found in several national publications including Society of Illustrators, Communications Art magazine, America Magazine, and North Eastern Magazine. Derek's work has been shown at several national galleries including The Corcoran Museum(Scholastics Art Awards). Most of his work is currently showing at Gallery 119, located in Jackson, Mississippi. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. If that is true Derek Blanks body of work speaks VOLUMES.
