I'm Derek Phillips, the creative force behind Higher Footage. I am a life long traveler and have been fortunate enough to travel to 47 countries in counting, capturing footage in about half of those. I have been in the content creating business for over a decade,  specializing in Resort Photography and Eco Tourism Content Creation.

My overall mission is to travel the planet and showcasing the most beautiful places this planet has to offer while capturing images to do the views justice.

 

With a portfolio that spans renowned brands as well as Cruises and Private Islands globally, I am deeply passionate about capturing captivating destinations, the last including captivating destinations like the Caribbean, Central America, the South Pacific, and more!

​

My style is defined by its audacious and inspirational nature, yet it remains down-to-earth and relatable. My ultimate mission is to ignite the spirit of adventure in people, encouraging them to embark on journeys to uncharted territories, embrace diverse cultures, conquer their fears, or simply foster connections. I've had the privilege of spearheading successful campaigns that drive engagement and conversions, establishing a connection with the heart of the places I've worked.
