Headshot Photographers
Doug was beyond excellent throughout the whole experience. His studio was amazing and we were able to get fantastic headshots in less than an hour. He listened to what we wanted and delivered exactly that! He knows his stuff concerning lighting and that made all the difference. I would definitely hire him again!! More...
What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Simple answer is lighting and composition. I like to say I have a Rolodex of all the images I have ever taken in my head. I like to analyze all the images after I capture the photos. I look at all the aspects of what makes it work or not work. Then I keep mental notes so as I am taking new photos I bring all those millions of images to mind so I can make the most of each and every situation that I am put in.

What do you love most about your job?
Being that most of my work comes from Advertising; I love that I never know what I am going to be doing tomorrow. I have been to so many different companies over the years I feel like I have worked in just about every type of business.
What inspired you to start your own business?
The son of an inventor, Doug worked after school in his father’s workshop building everything from a rubber band machine gun to a wheelchair. While still in high school, Doug bought a Nissan 280ZX, cut off the top, and created his own convertible. Today, he enjoys creating contraptions such as the Tall Bike–a double-decker bicycle.
Doug especially loves creative design photography, for which he can create original sculptures, models, and more. Doug’s decision to take photography as an elective his freshman year of high school seemed predestined, and he never looked back. Doug won a number of Best Portfolio awards as well as two paid internships. His big break came when he was hired as a photographer at J.W. Burkey Studios immediately after graduation, while most college grads served as an assistant for at least a year before advancing to photographer. The birth of D2 Studios came about after Doug compiled an impressive professional portfolio, a list of clients, and bought Burkey Studios.
