Photography by Douglas Banks
My name is Douglas Banks. Photography and the Arts have been a passion of mine since I was a young, shy boy. My interest in photography excelled during my last few years of secondary school as the yearbook photographer. Having a remarkable art teacher who encouraged me to pursue my love for photography has changed my life and I haven’t looked back since. I have an interest in all photography genres, primarily “focusing” on landscapes and wildlife.
I’m a Visual & Creative Arts College Graduate with a Major in Photography. I have been fortunate to receive a few Art Awards along the way, and humbled recognition for my photographic works.
Currently I'm teaching Photography at St. Lawrence College - Kingston Campus.
The stunning beauty of the outdoors, spectacular landscapes that surround us, and the fascinating wildlife that inhabits them truly inspire me.
Imagine heading out for a drive with no particular place to go, turning down an old country road with anticipation of stumbling across that hidden gem. Maybe an old run down building overcome by dense vegetation surrounded by fall colours and electric blue sky. Or maybe a small pond with a Heron perched and ready to strike on it's next meal, while an exact mirror image is being reflected off the glass-like surface of the calm water. You can almost hear a pin drop it’s so eerily quite, but the sound of your heart beat can be heard as you quickly yet quietly set up your camera equipment. At the same time pleading and begging it doesn’t move. Your camera is set up, you have composed your image, and set your exposure. All that’s left is to release the shutter and capture your vision..... click!
For me it is all in the process and preparation in getting to that point that drives and inspires me to take the next picture.
If you are interested in having me photograph or create an art piece for you please contact me to discuss your needs.
You may purchase any of my images that are shown on this site, just contact me to arrange purchase and I will forward you the image in High Resolution.
