About the Photographer

@dhansgate

Internationally awarded photographer and educator in the fashion and commercial photography genre.

Doug’s work has been on display in galleries in New York City, Washington DC Smithsonian, Buffalo, PA and Toronto, including the world-famous Ontario Art Gallery. His numerous gallery showings highlight his perceptive and compelling work. Doug is gifted in his ability to view a subject, see and distinguish slight nuances in light and tonal variations, capture that vision through photography and the capabilities of the camera, and express his vision through printed work.

His work has been seen in dozens of magazines and throughout the web on commercial sites, and has received numerous national and international awards including the Kodak award for image excellence. His mainstay has been his commercial work with attorneys, real-estate developers, physicians, product developers, recording companies, modeling agencies including the prestigious Wilhelmina Agency of New York and Silver Modeling agency of New York. As well as maintaining a high volume high school senior business and portraiture studio.

As you explore Doug’s work, you will surely see—and feel—the emotion and passion that he captures in every image, whether in his dreamscape series or iconic architectural images. As a sought-after judge of photographic imagery, Owner of AMP Studios, a successful commercial portrait and fashion photography studio in North Tonawanda, New York, Doug often says that if an image does not exude passion and does not evoke a sense of delight, sorrow, sadness, happiness, or desire, the image lacks the ability to be a sustainable work of art.
