Our Story · Our Team · Our Promise
Ten years behind the lens.
Five markets. One mission.
We're a corporate visual production agency built on a simple idea — that the right image, captured at the right moment, can change how people see your brand. Since 2016, we've made that idea our day job.
Introduction
From a single camera to a Fortune 500 production partner.
RTW Photography started in 2016 the way a lot of small businesses start — with one person, one camera, and a hunch that there was a better way. Our founder, Derrious Robinson, picked up a camera to showcase emerging fashion trends in Central Florida.
In 2017, Derrious teamed up with college classmate and fraternity brother Walter "Tre" Idlette, and RTW Photography as it's known today was born. In 2019, LaVell Monger joined as our third partner, bringing the cinematography expertise that pushed us into full commercial production.
Today, RTW Photography is a certified minority-owned visual production agency operating in Orlando, Tampa, Atlanta, Las Vegas, and Miami — with a portfolio that includes PwC, Google, Deloitte, Bank of America, and Disney.
In June 2026, we celebrate our 10th anniversary and the opening of our new headquarters at e|spaces, 333 S. Garland Ave — the next chapter of the same story.

The RTW Difference
Big-agency capability. Small-team accountability.
We're large enough to staff a three-day conference in Las Vegas with six photographers, two videographers, and a live-stream team — and small enough that the founder still reviews the gallery before it ships.
01
We show up like a partner, not a vendor.
Every gig gets a dedicated production canvas, a pre-event briefing, a day-of point of contact, and a wrap-up summary. You'll never wonder who's running point or where your files are.
02
We deliver fast, polished, on-brand work.
Most galleries are delivered within 24–48 hours of wrap. Headshot lounges deliver in real time. Our editing standards are set by Fortune 500 marketing teams — and applied to every client we serve.
03
We grew from the community we serve.
RTW is Black-owned, Florida-certified as a minority-owned business, and committed to creating opportunities in the creative industry. We mentor interns, hire freelancers from the local market, and partner with organizations that share our values.
The People Behind the Lens
A team built for every market we serve.
We're a small, senior team backed by a deep bench of trusted contractors. Every project is led by a member of our core staff — the people you'll meet, brief, and work with from kickoff to delivery.
