About Derek Pearcy — Photographer, Videographer & Editor
“Better to have a short life that is full of doing what you like than a long life spent in a miserable way.”
I grew up in Southern California — surfer kid, sun-tanned, curious, and always chasing new experiences.
Las Vegas-Based Photographer & Videographer
My love for photography started in 7th grade with a black-and-white photo class and has since evolved into a quest to capture raw, unfiltered moments.
After years climbing the corporate ladder and a transformative chapter living in Hawaii, I found my way to Las Vegas, jumped head-first into being a full-time creative, and became a crisis advocate for the LGBTQ+ community.
Cinematic Style with a Personal Touch
Today, I’m a full-time photographer, videographer, and editor. My work aims to reveal the beauty, humor, and hidden stories in every person and moment. I strive for images and films that provoke, challenge, and stay unforgettable.
Why Clients Trust Lucid Edge Media
With each session, I bring both technical precision and human connection, ensuring every client walks away with visuals that truly reflect who they are.
Let’s create something extraordinary.
