Doug is an artist born in Montreal (1965) and currently based in Langley, British Columbia, Canada. 
 
In an era where the familiar often overshadows the profound, Doug's art seeks to challenge the boundaries of perception and interpretation. While predictable art aligns with trends and offers immediate gratification, he is drawn to the intricate, the layered, and the intellectually engaging. Doug's work is not designed to be instantly consumed but rather to be experienced, questioned, and revisited.

Through his fine art photography, Doug captures the dynamic interplay of geometry, urban energy, and the unseen connections in our built environments. His lens focuses on the architecture and infrastructure of cities, uncovering the rhythmic patterns and hidden stories that define urban life. Each image invites the viewer to explore the tension between order and chaos, movement and stillness, seen and unseen.

Doug is an award winning artist and his work has been featured in numerous magazines and publications (online & in print) including: 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."
