THE MAN BEHIND THE LENS

Welcome! My name is Doug Cottrell; a true adventure boy that seeks the thrill of excitement! I come from Western Wisconsin but have to admit that I am Minnesota boy at heart. My passion for photography started during my college years when I turned to cameras to propel me into a hobby of Aviation Spotting. While the Aviation Spotting has taken a backseat, I have expanded my interests to include other subjects to capture! My favorites being the Northern Lights, Milky Way Core, a variety of wildlife, and any sort of trouble that makes my mother stress over me. Combining this love of photography with all the fishing and hiking trips I take helps me tell some exhilarating "bonfire stories." Come along on my adventures through my online portfolio, and reach out if you would like to connect on any future outings!
