Darby is an American lensman with a focus on music, travel and portrait photography. Raised in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York, it wasn't until he moved to New York City in 1994, that his passion for photography revealed itself. He borrowed his cousin's Minolta to snap his daughter, friends and a few red carpet movie premiers, early on. While employed at Corbis Images as a sales executive in 1999, he was granted an opportunity to photograph the Woodstock Music Festival for one of his clients, The Source magazine. Later that year he scored a second editorial assignment and placement, when the New York Times published his photo of music artist, Kina, on the cover of the Sunday Arts & Entertainment section. From there, his celebrity photography began to get noticed. In particular, he was known for his work in the world of Hip Hop. Since then, he's maintained a steady career as a photographer, photo editor and director of photography for such well known companies as MTV, ABC News, People.com and Paris-based ABACA Press. Darby currently resides in Miami, Florida and manages photography and other creative endeavors for WebMD.
