Doug is a freelance, documentary, editorial and fine art photographer from Missoula, Montana. He attended the Rocky Mountain School of Photography’s, Summer Intensive Program ten years ago and began instructing photography workshops soon after graduating. Before his zealous pursuit of photographic art, he was an outdoor educator for almost twenty years, passionately teaching people new backcountry skills in orienteering, mountaineering, avalanche awareness and wilderness first aid.
His teaching philosophy is fun, visionary and full of creative persistence and he learns as much from every teaching experience, as his students learn from him. In Doug’s words, “Discovery, is finding something… I found photography and my discovery began. Ten years later, I’m still finding photography, everywhere I go. I’ve come to recognize, it is within the “finding”, not the “finding something”, that is true discovery”. Learn from this esteemed online instructor at BetterPhoto.com.
