About Doug Pyper Photographics

With over 20 years as a professional photographer and photojournalist for me the focus has always been the human element.

Whether shooting editorial or commercial assignment, creating portraits in studio or on location, documenting cultural lifestyle or capturing the action of adventure.

The human landscape intrigues me. It is ever changing, endless in its complexity, and profoundly interesting. It is where my camera has drawn me over and over again.

My passion for photographing people endures to this day as the sole reason I am a photographer.

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY - 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE

 

Stock Photography

 

I license both rights-managed and royalty-free stock images. Once purchased, files can be downloaded quickly and easily directly from my website gallery. 

 

Editorial and Humanitarian Photography

 Regional to Global 

 

My photography honestly and emotionally portrays regional, national and international culture, humanitarian issues, global environmental concerns, outdoor adventure and the beautiful and innocent children of the world.

 

As both a photojournalist and freelance writer I work diligently for magazine publications, book publishers, newspapers, create documentary and multimedia projects on demand, and love to shoot for global NGO's and non-profits.

 

I spent seven months last year travelling and doing assignments throughout the equatorial countries of South America. Related images may be viewed in Gallery section of this website.

Recent Kudos from NGO Children International.....

 

"Doug is a gifted and accomplished photographer!

Excellent eye for drama, humanity, and the world in which we live.

And it’s evident from his images that he has an aptitude for communicating emotionally with children of all cultures.

He made things easy for us, by understanding the project, taking charge once he hits the ground, and getting it all done on time with incredible results.

Children International will be using his 2010 Ecuador images for years to come, because they capture perfectly the real lives of the people we help. No qualms about recommending him to anyone or any organization".
