Doug is a talented artist born in Montreal in 1965, now finding inspiration in the vibrant surroundings of Langley, British Columbia, Canada.

In a world where the familiar often overshadows the profound, Doug's art boldly challenges the boundaries of perception and interpretation. While predictable art may cater to fleeting trends and offer instant gratification, he is irresistibly drawn to the intricate, the layered, and the intellectually stimulating. His work is crafted not for rapid consumption but for immersive experiences that invite contemplation, questioning, and revisitation.

Through his fine art photography, Doug masterfully captures the dynamic interplay of geometry, urban energy, and the hidden connections that shape our built environments. With a keen eye for detail, he focuses on the architecture and infrastructure of cities, unveiling the rhythmic patterns and untold stories that define urban life. Each image beckons viewers to delve into the tension between order and chaos, movement and stillness, and the seen and unseen, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Doug is an award winning artist and his work has been featured in numerous magazines and publications (online & in print) including: Artwire, Art Muse Express, Artworld Daily, The Art Insight, The Artworld Post, Inspired Eye Magazine, Travelglobe, Artwort, Seen Magazine,  Art Market Magazine, Lens Magazine, Art Reveal Magazine, Canadian Camera, Silvershotz, Dodho Magazine, Practical Photography, ND Magazine, PhotoED Magazine, POSI+TIVE Magazine, Noice Magazine, F-Stop Magazine, Float Magazine & The Modern Day Explorer.


"My work explores the intersection of geometry and the urban environment—an approach called Geometric Urbanism. Through precise compositions, I highlight the hidden rhythms, patterns, and structures that shape our cities. Architectural and urban elements become abstractions, where lines, light, and spaces create a sense of order within the chaos of urban life.

My photography transforms the built environment into a visual language of form and symmetry, inviting viewers to see the city not just as a collection of buildings and urban environments, but as dynamic, evolving compositions.
 
My mission is simple ; I want people to see - to really look at the urban world and architecture in a way they may not have noticed before. I want my images to make people pause and reconsider what they walk past every day. Ultimately, I hope my photography shifts perception—helping people find beauty, meaning, or even tension in places they might otherwise overlook."
