Gaining his Masters in photography in 1992, Doug Robertson's formal training includes the Winona International School of Professional Photography, New York Institute of Photography and the Kansas Professional Photographers School. Doug has been a guest speaker for a number of professional photographer groups and has been an instructor at the Kansas Professional Photographers School. In the last 25 years, Doug has also been a member of several professional photography associations which include, Kansas Professional Photography Association (KPPA) serving on the board of directors, Professional Photographers of America (PPA), and as past president of Greater Wichita Professional Photographers Association (GWPPA).

Very early in his career Doug was named Novice of the Year, awarded Non-Masters Best Print of Show and Heart of America Non-Master Photographer of the Year. Later competitions awarded him many more trophies and titles among which include two time Kansas Photographer of the Year, Best Photographer in Masters Division, 1st Fuji Masterpiece Award ever for the category entered and two Kodak Gallery Trilon Awards. Along with the numerous prints that were selected for the American Loan Collection, two had the prestigious honor of being chosen by Walt Disney World to be displayed at their Epcot Center in Orlando, Fl. Although entering print competition for four short years, his relentless pursuit of excellence in photography gained him a Master's degree at an unprecedented rate of three years and put him in the Top Ten each year he entered.

In Doug's own words, his constant inspiration has been the wonderful people he has met through his art, resulting in 35 years of brilliant and lasting images. All images in Doug's biographic section were created with a film camera and without the use of Photoshop.
