Photo & Film


Hello
I'm Doug, a photographer and film maker based in Hampshire. I love to take photos and film people at work or engaged in creative processes.

If you need a mini documentary to explain what makes your business unique then I can help.

My Story
Photography has part of my life from a young age, setting up elaborate staged shots on film of my toy soldiers using my Dad's Praktika SLR camera and being inspired by my grandfather's love of macro flower photography. I loved documenting family holidays and my friends as we grew up.
​
Later when I realised that this hobby could become a job, I studied photography at London Metropolitan University going back to college after getting a degree in History and a stint working in Local Government and the Charity Sector.
​
All these interests combined serendipitously with some great experiences working for the City of London and later Imperial War Museums. At these organisations I met some amazing people and was lucky enough to have access to photograph and film some unique and historically significant objects and art works.
​
I love working for clients in the Third Sector and the Culture and Heritage worlds.
​
My visual style is based on classic documentary photography, creatively capturing people in their element, whether they are at work, creating art or need an informal portrait.
​
My personality has been described as patient, kind and attentive to detail. I want to create final products that meet the client's brief and hopefully make some new friends and, if appropriate, enjoy ourselves during the process.
