Seeking an honesty and a simplicity in his work, Doug feels that strong color can be distracting from the nearly mystical quality of the light. He finds that black and white images help him unlock the hidden beauty found in the quiet of dawn and twilight, in the sensuous shapes of flowers, in the calm textures of water flowing over stone and in the changing dapple of light and shade over leaf and wood. His passion as a photographer is to capture this numinous beauty and offer it to the viewer.

Doug usually begins his work outdoors, capturing digital color images in the field or garden, using the soft and liquid light of the Pacific Northwest coastal sun. The raw digital negatives are then carefully processed using techniques to visually match the methods, films, and tones of years past.

Active in several photography communities, including the Photo Coterie Seattle, flickr, and Utata, he enjoys learning from and collaborating with other photographers. His work has been featured on the Washington State Tourism web site, in children's books, travel guides, on album covers. In 2008, he published his first book entitled "The Earth Laughs in Flowers".

Additional project portfolios of his work can be found at Pacifica Photo (www.pacificaphoto.net). Price information and arrangements for prints can be made by contacting him via email (dtrosenoff@gmail.com).

Doug lives in the foothills of the Cascades, near Seattle, Washington. When not engaged in professional or photographic pursuits, he enjoys music, travel, reading, gardening and the company of friends.
