A Man and his Cameras
by Karen Sichieri
Doug's love for photography encompasses all types of subjects and he has an intuitive knack for uncovering the smallest detail that makes his work unique. This is one of the factors that drive his passion for all types of photography whether it is portraits, wild life, studio work, flowers or abstract creations. In other words, he is not confined to any one particular genre or style. However, his signature is readily identifiable by the very personal intimacy he creates between the subject and his audience.
Doug’s objective is to create photography as a single piece of Art. And consequently he only sells his work as a one time signed and dated original photograph.
One of his favorite challenges is collaborating with a client to photographically create a unique work of Art just for them.
The final photograph comes complete with a photographic provenance which illustrates technique, his creative process and the customized digital darkroom techniques which replace the traditional chemicals with algorithms.
This also acts as a excellent visible certificate of authenticity.
Doug has spent much of the last few years traveling and photographing remote native villages in several Latin American Countries. He has donated his time in order to give them personal photos of their families and villages, most of whom have never even seen a photograph.
