)
Derry is drawn to the aesthetically beautiful, whatever the subject but always with a compelling story, a connection, a voice, something that will evoke thought.
Joining OB Management is Ian Derry, an experienced photographer turned director, renowned for having photographed some of the world’s most recognisable faces.
With an exquisite eye and collaborative style, he brings the same considered aesthetic to his work as a filmmaker, an approach that led to the incredible success of his debut short film Johanna, the stunning portrait of an Arctic free diver. The film was screened as part of the 2017 Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors’ Showcase and picked up nominations for D&AD and a prestigious Grierson award and won GOLD at the Kinsale Sharks for Best Documentary Short Film.
He’s since directed campaigns for brands including Nike, Seat, Microsoft, Johnnie Walker, Versace and Fitbit and is currently working on a feature length Netflix Original Documentary of Johanna, due to be released later this year.
Ian is drawn to the aesthetically beautiful, whatever the subject but always with a compelling story, a connection, a voice, something that will evoke thought.
Having been a huge fan of Ian’s work for some years now, we’re excited to welcome him to our Independent Roster for commercials, content and music videos and to continue to build on his already impressive body of work.
