Born and raised in Stratford, Ontario, photography has been a passion for most of his life. Since the late 80's, Doug has been residing in Marathon on the North Shore of Lake Superior. "The Canadian North Shore of Lake Superior is one of the most rugged, moody & breathtaking landscapes anywhere, I am quite fortunate to call this backyard my home". Doug's ability to express his vision is portrayed by understanding and capturing these decisive moments. His photographs have won several national & international awards over the years and have been featured in several publications. As a full time professional photographer he also is commissioned for industrial, commercial and portrait photography. Current gallery representation of his work can be viewed at The Framing Post in Thunder Bay, Ontario and Roses Art Gallery, Sault Ste Marie, Ontario and Gallery On The Grand, Kitchener, Ontario.
