Darryl Humphrey creates iconic and stylistic images, reflecting his zeal for impactful style, culture, celebrity, and fashion photography. He studied photography at Central St. Martins in London, UK. He then built his experience with leading advertising agencies and innovative designers there, on projects for Vidal Sassoon, BOY London and Barford Films, before moving his studio to Canada in 2000. He continues to work across Europe, North America & around the Pacific Rim, bringing his distinctive energy to productions.

What do Darryl's images share? A collective desire to tell a story that goes beyond the limits of the frame and border. The sense of walking into a scenario as it plays through. Yet simultaneously, revealing the exposed, vulnerable and even tender side to the subject, leading to an unexpected tension in the work.
