You know you are in
good hands when a photographer jokes about taking just pictures. Ben Derkin puts the “Derk” in Derk’s
Works,
which is the name of his photography business. Derkin describes how looking
through a camera lens is not about clicking a button. Taking “just a photo”
does not exist with the Derk’s Works passion. Having the right person in the
right setting, taking a photo that shows emotion and true personality makes for
a meaningful photo.
Derkin started what
he thought would be his career path, at Bowling Green State University. He
graduated in 2008, but found out through attending various Owen’s Community
College photography classes he had true talent for photography. As someone who
finds great pride in excelling at something, he decided to pursue his passion.
He started his time
at American Frame by interning and saw first-hand the expertise and passion
American Frame puts into each product it delivers to every customer. Seeing how
the quality of their work shows through in the artist’s product inspired him
even more.
It was then he
decided to take the chance and start his own photography business in 2008. It
was not until 2014 Derkin saw the opportunity to truly succeed when he booked
more weddings than he ever had before. Once he booked his record amount, his
wife quit her corporate job and went all in on Derk’s Works. Their hard work
paid off and Derk’s Works has become a go-to photography business that captures
emotional and personal photos.
On a personal level,
both Ben and his wife balance work and personal life with their sons, who are two
years old and six months old. But some may argue their dog, Juno, is the
official mascot of Derk’s Works, who holds the title of Official Welcoming
Committee.
Derkin will admit the
most important thing about what he does is being able to capture the emotion
behind each photograph. Being able to connect people with ideas and emotions is
the best way to create the connection among “model” and photograph. It is the intangible
things in each photograph that make it a great
photo.
