Meet Deklin -The Photographer- Fitzgerald
Deklin Fitzgerald is a professional photographer based in the breathtaking landscapes of Southern Maine. Hailing from the midcoast, his love for photography was born out of a desire to merge art with personal storytelling—creating images that serve as both a reflection and an exploration of the world through his unique lens.
Picking up his first camera in September 2022, photography has become more than just a passion; it’s his way of connecting deeply with people and places. Each click of the shutter is an opportunity to tell a story, to immortalize a moment in time that is rich with emotion and significance. Whether it’s the tender glance shared by newlyweds or the quiet confidence of a senior portrait, he strives to create images that resonate long after the moment has passed.
His expertise lies in individual and small group photography, with experience with headshots, senior photos, weddings, and event photography. Every session is an adventure, a collaboration where the aim is to capture not just faces, but the essence of those in front of his lens; in short he believes in creating memories. For Fitzgerald, the best photography comes from authentic interactions, where the emotions are genuine, and the experience is as memorable as the images themselves.
“Equipped with my trusted Canon 6D Mk II as my primary camera and the Canon 5D Mk III as my backup, I am well-prepared to capture a wide range of subjects—from candid smiles to the sweeping beauty of Maine’s natural landscapes. These tools, combined with my deep understanding of light, composition, and timing, enable me to create photographs that are both visually stunning and emotionally powerful.”
Beyond capturing images, he is committed to fostering a supportive community of photographers and his willingness and passion “about mentoring others, sharing my knowledge, and guiding those who are eager to learn,” exemplifies his community first standard. For Deklin believes that photography is an art form best shared, and is always excited to help others discover their own creative voices.
Maine’s rocky coast, serene landscapes, and charming towns provide the perfect canvas. Each day, he is inspired by the world & the incredible people he meets. His primary goal is to not only capture these moments but to do so in a way that tells a story; your story.
With an ever growing portfolio, his guiding principle remains the same: helping you make memories – “To me, photography isn’t just about taking pictures; it’s about preserving the moments that define us & the experiences that shape our lives” – Whether you’re celebrating a major milestone, starting a new journey, or simply enjoying the beauty of the present moment, DeklinFitzPhotography is here to help you capture those memories in a way that you’ll cherish for years to come.
