About | Derek Jecxz Fine Art Photography

My pursuit of photography began over 35 years ago and blasted off in the mid-1990s. I snapped photo after photo of anything in front of me and did not stop until I realized that a photograph begins within me. From then onward I became an artist.

I was born and raised in New York City; I have traveled extensively throughout both the United States and Canada. In stark contrast to the crowded metropolis of my birth, my photographs reveal the path less traveled, the quiet, intimate and forsaken landscape that exists without witness.

My artwork has been exhibited in numerous galleries and has won many awards. Original, one-of-a-kind signed prints are available for purchase. If you would like to enhance your portfolio with my photographs or wish to order prints for an installation, please contact me.

My experience and creativity are explained in my journal. I cannot be reduced to a simple artist statement (the prescription of professors at prestigious fine art universities). To learn more about me, please read my journal.
