Doug received his first SLR camera as a gift, aged eleven, and worked in a photography studio as a teenager.

Doug Jackson began his professional photographic career with Yorkshire Regional Newspapers over eight years ago. Prior to establishing himself as a freelance photographer, he worked for some of the North's leading newspapers including the Whitby Gazette, Scarborough Evening News, The Northern Echo and Darlington and Stockton times.

Although Doug travels throughout the UK on assignments covering a diverse range of commissions, he enjoys living in Yorkshire because of its beauty.

Doug is a confident, professional freelance photographer who works in a relaxed way, is never pushy or rude and always takes time to listen.

Doug is married to Helen and lives in Sheffield. When not travelling around the UK working, Doug enjoys riding his motorcycle, sailing and getting out for a walk in the wilds.
