About Doug...

Photography has been my passion for over 40 years. An effort to infuse my images with emotional content while staying on the cutting edge of technical developments keeps me excited about each new project. Have my commercial drone rating with the FAA and am working on 3D modeling and immersive 360 virtual worlds. Summers are filled with music festivals such as “The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival”, “Bonnaroo”, “Outside Lands” and the “Newport Folk and Jazz Festivals”. I bring the same enthusiasm to weddings or other events as I do to the festivals. Whether I am pursuing commercial or fine art, there is a scene, a person, or a product to be felt, analyzed and understood and I try to communicate that understanding photographically using the skills, (and tricks) that I have learned over the past 40 years. Read More

Wedding Photography

I really enjoy participating in weddings. I feel that my role is to unobtrusively document and support the event. For 30 years, I’ve been photographing in the now popular “Documentary” style. I am also sure to make a set of formal portraits to be enjoyed forever.  I create a web gallery where guests can print images and also can layout and print books of any size or shape.

India

For the past several years I have been working on a few important documentary projects in India. I’m documenting Gandhi’s Salt March, the Valley where Buddha lived in Bihar, and several other smaller picture stories. I am on the Board of the “Friends of Buddhist Heritage”, an organization created to encourage the sensitive development of Buddhist pilgrimage worldwide. 

Festival Photography

From Gospel to Rock and Roll, Classic Jazz to the Preservation Hall, Cajun to Pop, I am honored to be a part of many of the best festivals in the country.  Check out some these festival photo galleries: The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Newport Folk Festival,  Solid Sound Festival at Mass Moca,  Freshgrass at Mass Moca,  Bonaroo

Event Photography

Bar and Bat Mitzvas, parties, conferences and other events are just like weddings. There’s a group of people, a story, and the right way to quietly document the event while being helpful and without being disruptive. My job is to be a part of your event while allowing it to unfold naturally.

Hilltown Drone

Drones are the future of landscape photography and video. You can’t watch a television show anymore without seeing at least one drone image. I’ve been flying drones for 4 years and have my commercial drone rating from the FAA. My drones are insured for 5 million dollars. 

I can show clients what the drone sees in real time on a tablet or headset to create a real “in flight” experience. The drone is the perfect platform to shoot landscapes, to map a property, to show a house and the house's environment for real estate or to have a fine print made.

360º Virtual Touring

I have been creating Immersive content for 25 years, but now individuals have the computing power to take advantage of it. In 1994 I created immersive worlds in the jungles of the Maya World in Central America and have been developing the skills and technology ever since. 360 stills and video are now affordable and seamless in web media.

Client Love!

“This "client" loves Douglas Mason more than there are stars in the Heath night sky.”

We were so lucky to have Doug photograph our wedding. He was flexible in accommodating our distinct wedding events, and also made creative suggestions to capture just the right moments of our occasion.  Of all the components that went into our wedding, this was the easiest one, and we have amazing images to share  and treasure.  Thanks Doug!
