Your Bio

All work on this site is protected by copyright. If you wish to use any image, even for personal use, you must first obtain my permission to do so (save where otherwise stated).

I am a part-time photographer working mainly to produce images for stock, including landscape, botanical, portrait, commercial, food and general imagery from my studios based in North Essex, England (not far from London and just south of Cambridge).

I am an expert in digital imaging and printing, running a fully colour managed digital workflow (with film available as an option - used mainly where large format work is called for). I use my skills to ensure that clients receive outstanding work and repeatable results - time after time.

High-End digital capture and film is complimented by in-house drum scanning and fine art wide format professional digital printing. Digital and hard copy proofing is available, along with photo re-touching and Photoshop digital manipulation.

I never accept second best, and neither should you.

I am a Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Socicety (LRPS). Prints of my work are available for purchase, but not direct from this site, which I use mainly for special projects and some client work that is password protected. Please contact me if interested.

My associated microstock site is at http://www.brightnewlight.co.uk where, under my "Douglas Freer" brand, I exhibit examples of work for sale only on various microstock sites and sold exclusively under the Douglas Freer brand and provide other useful links.

As "Douglas Freer", I am also author of the book "Microstock Photography: how to make money from your digital images", published by Focal Press in 2008. This is the first book written specifically to address the new microstock image libraries.
