About Doug Pyper Photographics
With over 25 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, capturing the action of adventure, or engaging in international NGO humanitarian work.
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.
What I Do
Portraits
I offer deeply moving human portraits of Children, Family, Couples, Artists and Public Figures.
Editorial, Cultural and Humanitarian Photography
As a photographer, photojournalist and writer I will work
assignments both regionally and globally upon request.
My primary areas of FOCUS are British Columbia, Canada and Ecuador, South America.
I live in and travel extensively throughout these locales and nearby countries.
Hence, I'm readily available for assignments in these regions with
little or no 'global' travel expenses incurred on my clients.
I will however travel globally upon request.
My photography honestly and emotionally portrays people, culture,
humanitarian issues, global environmental concerns, travel, outdoor
adventure pursuits and the beautiful innocent children of the world.
As both a photojournalist and freelance writer I work for magazine
publications, book publishers, newspapers, create documentary and
multimedia projects on demand, and love to work with 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 Portfolio and Gallery sections 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".
