About Me
Hello I’m Doug and I’m a UK based photographer focussed on the environment and sustainability. I consider myself to be both a photographer and an environmentalist. I started working in the environmental industry when I first left school, so my association with it goes a long way back.
I’m based in Surrey but being a location photographer I travel extensively. I create environmental portraits, landscapes and reportage images for businesses in a range of industries, but all with a desire to do business sustainably and to reduce our carbon footprint.
I love nothing more than using or creating beautiful lighting with a great idea to compose and develop strong photographic images, often showing how mankind interacts with the natural environment.
If you’re running a sustainability conscious organisation, and want to know how I can help you to increase your audience engagement, and ultimately win more business through using quality content, then let’s talk.
