Dougal James de la Bruyere Paterson

It's my parallel life as a big wave surfer that provides the bedrock inspiration for the authenticity that characterizes my work. I treat my jobs as personal projects, building expedition style teams that are able to work remotely in any location. This approach to my job has meant that I've gotten to shoot content for clients in some really exciting places. I recently co-directed a documentary on great white sharks for National Geographic! I've been shooting for the worlds airlines and airplane manufacturers since 2007. However, superseding any career achievements is my life goal to raise noble, steadfast daughters and keep my promise to love my wife till death us do part.
