Derry Lubell
People fascinate me. i am curious about every aspect of how they live, work and relate. For many years I worked as a psychotherapist, using words to help people deal with emotions, relationships, and traumas. Now as a photographer, my language has moved from the verbal to the visual. Taking photographs gives me a powerful way to connect with people and the world - and to share that connection.
