What Clients Say:
Don Barclay Creative Director.
" I've worked with Derek for over 30 years and he's an excellent photographer, a consummate professional and a
good friend. He's also Welsh, which just goes to show you can't have it all."
Chris Dickson Creative Director
" I first met Derek when I was a young, wet behind the ear, art director in my first big London agency back in the mid-80’s. ‘The golden era of advertising’. I was briefing him on a tricky, never been done before idea that I trusted him to make happen. First impressions can mean so much. We hit it off with our first handshake and quickly realised I was in incredibly safe hands with a photographer who was a master of his craft. From that moment on,and over the following years, I worked with him on quite a number of high-profile projects each becoming bigger and even more complex by the brief. From small Thomas Cook posters and big studio and location shoots for Ford vehicles to Mercedes Benz cars.
Working and collaborating with Derek never feels like work. It’s so much more than that. It’s fun, because when you’re having fun, as I learned from that first handshake all those years ago, you always got the best out of everyjob. Just imagine going to work every day and still having a smile on your face at the end of it? That’s the Seaward effect.
He really is that good you know! "
