Born and raised on the Jersey shore, Doug was raised in a very creative home, surrounded by art and music. Being the youngest of five children, he was able to experiment in many different artistic mediums as his older siblings grew, in their own personal artistic journeys. Drawing, painting, sculpting and music all took a back seat when Doug discovered his love of photography. From the age of 16 years old, Doug has studied the art and honed his photography skills. Over the years, Doug's subject matter has spanned from landscapes to abstracts, but his true love is working with other creatives.

"Nature has not provided us anything more beautiful, to cast of eyes upon, than the human female form" - Doug S.
