Thanks! ____________________________________________________________________________ A little story ____________________________________________________________________________ So far; spent a diverse 16 years engaged in freelance design and artistic pursuit alongside my “day job” as a graphics designer and web master – creating print layouts, photo editing and web designs. Taking on the corporate, business side of design while disciplined and challenging, did not truly satisfy the far less lucrative, but far more limitless side of inspired moments in free flowing design. Merging philosophies of design – I began unique use of photos and graphics for album / cd art, posters, catalogs, product fliers, tourist handouts, packaging, website layouts, logos, and on. Now, time to get back to what truly stirs inside – art, expression, meaning – edgy creativity! Now using photography I hope to make thought provoking work, perhaps social commentary, a whimsical image, moment in time – or simply an appealing capture! Born in Massachusetts and growing up along the coastline, I became fascinated with the mysteries, power and beauty of the Atlantic – certainly fuel for a young imagination. As a boy, camera or sketchpad and pencils in hand, I would wander out on the rocks, gaze at the sea, and doodle, experiment, make images with a Vivitar 110 or write. I found beauty in coastlines, story lines, object lines, social lines and, to be trite; tan lines. This region of Massachusetts is known for the concentration of diverse artists and photographers – beautiful seascapes, yes, but work and styles from boundless imagination also exists here. I often whandered the galleries and studios of the Cape Ann area; in awe and knowing I wished to create…. Having come from a long line of artists, a family of creative thinkers and artistic minded individuals, I’ve long been aware of art and the importance therein. I did sharpen innate design skills with studies in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York. Pursuing Graphic Sciences to augment my organic exposure; I worked towards degrees in Computer Science, Computer Information Systems and Graphics Design. Later winning the DUE Award for Academic Excellence, finishing certificate programs in addition to a Computer Science degree with honors – now time for self teaching and exploration. Having re-entered the world of photography in 2008 after a long hiatus – the discovery continues. Passion for the next image, I now create often blending the diversity of graphic design with the beauty of a capture through photography. While I enjoy the challenge and beauty in many genres, I do find I am consistently drawn to the human element. I enjoy the interaction, energy and emotion, (moods!) that can be created working with others. From beauty and contrast – grunge, grit and glam – sometimes a subtle form, dark silhouette, mystery or clean, bright portraiture. It all spills over into the final artistic process as I enjoy the subtle artistic finishing touches I carefully treat our images with – the trust accorded me while before the lens shaping my outcome.

Doug is a soft spoken man in a wheelchair, don't let that deter! He did a wonderful job putting together a series of somewhat suggestive, Pg13 photos, beautiful b&w images. 8"x10" I did for my fiancee just over a year back, which I gave to him right before his bachelor party. ;)) A year later, I just received my last prints I did with Doug as an anniversary gift for my hubby. I like the somewhat "texturey" way Doug did these images. A little braver, Doug helped me come up with some sexy, but nondescript shots. And 1 beautiful 16"x20"!! semi-nude but again, non identifiable print that feels like it's art. It is framed and in Colin's workspace. Plus I love it too, not embarrassed to say Doug was very helpful and did a free reshoot when I had an issue pop-up. The music was nice too. Doug's setup was smaller than others I considered and in his home, but when I saw other work he had done there, gave it a try. So glad I did, sure I'll be back at some point. - DP

This past Memorial day I had opportunity to finally do a pin-up photo session for my boy friend who will be overseas for 6 months. I had the idea of sending him a little naughty selfies to remind him of me and make him smile. I took some iphone shots to print and was not happy at all. Then found Doug online after it turns out a friend lives near his helper who told her about his photography. Checked his work and website and finally emailed. After trading ideas and wanting to do something more artsy or pin-up, not cheesy bedroom pillow hugging pictures, a little edge and sexy no '80s glowy pictures. Doug put samples & ideas together that showcased just the right features a runner has and even implied some extra "asserts" where they're lacking. :)) I was a bit worried when I saw his samples, cuz I don't have a bod like that. But now, I have 8 big photos that made me blush! I look pretty darn good, was worried cuz I ended had no idea where he was going with them. Now, 12x18 mini-posters (1 with a caption and my "autograph", on really nice paper to send (he supplied sleeves to protect them and even cardboard mailers just in case). Doug put digital files on a little flash drive for me too I was getting a little anxious when it took him awhile to finish them, but he emailed regularly and all was delivered in time. I love the grainy look of the images, 2 b&w are beautiful and look silky. Doug is a really nice guy who you'll feel right at ease with. My friend came along for "encouragement" - Doug included her in the process as she was in charge of moving a light box. Assistant for a couple hours then we got some fun free portraits for her help. Oh, his studio is a home, but big open and bright and he had waters and snacks out. He told me up front he has a disability, but it doesn't appear to affect him at all; his work is Beautiful! Thanks Doug!! Kris

Doug helped me schedule an early evening shoot that was perfect. I could never have broken away from work during the week and have kids home all day on the weekend. This might seem like an odd perk, but his late afternoon to evening availability made my sessions possible. I found Doug through a simple Google search for pin-up photographers. I was overwhelmed, but found his website and liked the work (and know the town he photographed the fishing shack in, love Rockport). Emailed Doug to learn he has a disability and for some reason, I felt less intimidated as my cousin is in a wheelchair. I was able to bring a girlfriend for moral support and courage which was nice. She even helped Doug move a light stand and was involved in the shoot. We did some PG13 fun pin-up shoots that I plan on giving to my husband for his birthday as he has a book by an artist named Vargas that he loves. So, we took ideas from the book and made 5 8x11 prints and 1 "special" 16x20 print. Doug shot a nice head shot for my friend and gave me a print to give her. He let me bring some CDs I had of old 1950s music that was silly, but really fun too. Okay, the photographs, can't boast about myself but I will say, Doug artsy touches somehow made my pics look like they were photos from that time and I absolutely love the shots! I think I read another review who said she was going back now feeling less intimidated, well, me too! Doug's "studio" looks pretty basic, a setup in a a big room in a big house, I was expecting more um, stuff and props, etc. But once music was playing and lights were going off, it was cozy and fun Melissa

I needed some clean, basic headshots for my company bio page and a newsletter being printed. We were asked to submit our own favorite images. I have none but, I know Doug through a friend and he only live 20 minutes from me. I'm not thrilled with the whole studio photography process or having my picture taken at all for that matter. Doug did a nice job of chatting, letting me reschedule several times and meeting me before the photo shoot date. We did about an hour of talking and an hour of shooting that wasn't too bad. I was able to change my top and hair as many times as I wanted, Doug was wonderful with helping me go with the best looks. I now have the first, halfway decent photo of myself that I actually like. Oh and being able to schedule in the early evening helped me also as I see another person needed that. Barb J.
