Doug is a professional conservation and wildlife photojournalist who focuses on Australian issues. A Senior Fellow of the International League of Conservation Photographers (iLCP), his clients include National Geographic, BBC Wildlife, bioGraphic, The Smithsonian, Scientific American, Audubon, as well various mastheads like The Guardian.
Initially trained as a zoologist and microbiologist, he later completed a Masters of Environment and then a Masters of Bioethics. Together, these two qualifications helped shape his thinking as to what type of issues he should focus on and why – conservation and animal welfare issues.
Believing people should work on the issues they care about and those that are close to home, his recent efforts have focused on the conservation and animal welfare issues facing the platypus and Australia's Flying-foxes , having published with his partner Heather, a children's book titled ‘Life Upside Down’ on Australia's Grey-headed Flying-foxes.
His hope is that the images and the information he shares, will inspire people to stop, think, and treat the natural world more kindly.
