About Douglas N Burns

Portrait Artist

I fell in love with photography at an early age pouring though the photos in National Geographic Magazine. However it was in college where the photo bug really bit me. Since then I’ve traveled the world seeking photographic opportunities both professionally and personally.

I’ve been lucky to work as a Director of Photography on projects with National Geographic TV documentaries, ESPN, TV personality Dr Phil, basketball player Yao Ming, former boxing champion and TV pitchman George Forman, major league baseball player Craig Biggio, and many others.

I’m fascinated with light in its various forms and how it shapes the world we see. Light can transform a scene, create a mood, or evoke a memory. The Latin translation of Photography is “painting with light”. I love creating photo-graphic art because it allows me to chase that light that illuminates the people that we meet.
