His focus draws upon the documentary perspective, and many of his commissions involve people in either movement and celebration, or stillness and strength. His commissions have won international awards and been published in magazines, newspapers, and music albums. His personal and documentary work has been exhibited in galleries and museums, and is collected both public and privately throughout the United States. Assignments occur primarily throughout the bay area, but Doug's commissions also take him around the country, and occasionally overseas. His latest far flung commission was a destination wedding in Thailand, and he will be photographing in Texas, Kuaui, and Seoul so far in 2014.
