Lionel Derimais

Photographer and Director of Photography based in London.

I specialise in corporate (portraits, annual reports) & editorial photography. Now based in London after a few years in China, I bring my long experience and my professionalism to your projects.

Since 2012 I have shot videos for various projects - get in touch to talk about it.

A photographer for over 40 years, I have worked in NYC (I studied photography at the I.C.P), London, Tokyo, Brussels and Paris before moving to China. I have also worked extensively throughout the Asia-Pacific region, including India, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Dubai, Singapore, Japan, Indonesia, Australia and Hong Kong for business magazines.

My favorite subjects are people and their activities. I have also compiled impressive architecture as well as corporate portraits portfolio, which are both available online.

Over the years my work has been published in newspapers, magazines and agencies such as Getty Images, Bloomberg Markets, National Geographic France, New York Times, International Herald Tribune, Los Angeles Times, Reader's Digest, Fortune Magazine, The Times, Courrier Cadres, Viva, l'Express and Paris-Match to name a few.

In November 2020 I self-published a book of my photographs taken in China called "Cultural Evolution / China 2005 - 2010" with a 2500-word essay by Mary Kay Magistad. The book is now in over 20 US university libraries including the Library of Congress.
