Derek Antonio Serra operates out of beautiful Cape Town, South Africa. With over 20 years experience as a photographer, he has been published in numerous publications, including Cosmopolitan, Fair Lady and Femina.
In his early years he shot mainly editorial fashion for the major newspapers in South Africa. He then moved into fashion advertising, landing the major Ronald Sassoon denim label which resulted in a massive advertising campaign
in all the top fashion magazines in South Africa.
Always controversial, Serra also supplied top international magazines with sizzling pictorials of local and foreign models, travelling extensively to exotic locations for these shoots. He became known as the "Body Man" for his ability to make virtually every woman he photographed look stunning.
In more recent years he has begun focussing on personal photography projects, resulting in photo exhibitions. His subjects are still predominantly women, but not always professional models. Serra's manta is "Every woman is beautiful" and his recent work shot in small towns and big cities using ordinary girls he meets during his visits proves that he can photograph any woman and make her look beautiful.
