Derek de Braga is a Montreal-based therapist and photographer whose work is shaped by careful observation and genuine human connection. His clinical practice centres on trust, safety, and an integrative harm reduction approach, helping clients explore their experiences with compassion and without judgment.

That same attentiveness carries into his photography, where he seeks the moments others pass by — the small gestures, fleeting expressions, and quiet intersections of everyday life. Whether photographing close to home or during his travels, Derek is drawn to the subtle moments that reveal the character of a place and the humanity within it.
