ABOUT Derrick
Derrick Wansom is a photographer & physician based in Austin, TX.
Derrick was born and raised in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. Despite growing up near the Motor City, his passion for cars wasn’t sparked until he was exposed to JDM car culture while studying hip-hop culture in Japan. His interest in photography similarly started later in life. After his father lost his vision, Derrick discovered a new appreciation for his own sight and vision. This led him to pick up a camera in 2021 and develop his photographic vision. He would eventually combine his car enthusiasm with his passion for photography.
Derrick’s automotive photography has a timeless and ethereal quality that captures the intangible bond between man and machine. Derrick’s imagery has garnered recognition from the International Automotive Photography Awards.
