Doug Allan has passed away, and with him, a certain kind of fieldcraft and endurance that defined an era of natural history filmmaking.
Doug stood in the kind of places most people will never feel on their skin. The cold there is not just temperature. It is pressure. It pushes into your lungs, your joints, your thinking. When I photographed him in Antarctica, at the South Pole, he moved through that environment with a familiarity that felt almost improbable. Not bravado. Not performance. Just a man who had spent a lifetime returning to the edge until it became a kind of home.
Doug was one of the great wildlife cameramen of our time. His work on Blue Planet, Planet Earth, and Frozen Planet didn’t just show us the natural world. It changed how we understand it. He brought us under the ice, into storms, into moments of raw survival and unexpected beauty. Not as spectacle, but as something real and immediate.
What stayed with me was his steadiness. No drama. No ego. Just a deep respect for the animals, the conditions, and the long process of getting it right. Days or weeks of nothing, and then a moment that made it all worth it. He understood that kind of patience in a way few people do.
Fair winds and following seas, Doug.
I made this portrait as part of my New Heroes project, which is about spending time with the people shaping our future and trying to see them clearly, as they are.

This was taken the day I picked up a replacement 50mm F1.4 this fall. (I had sold one back in film days.) More depth of field next time.

*On a personal note: We didn't want to bother Doug when we saw him eating dinner after the show with his family, but I had to say something as I walked past him. I said, "Thank you Sir, for 50 years of enjoying your shows!" He reached out to shake my hand, with BOTH of his hands, and graciously responded with his own thanks! What a warm man! - Unbelievably, 2 weeks before, he 'friended' us on Facebook and invited us to join one of his 4 Facebook pages!
*Almost no videos from this 2023 Cruise! They must have
a copywrite thing going on! 'bad videos' are all I could find!

If you have a big enough screen you can see a flying object over Sandy's second story, checking out the roof. Our son, Doug, got a small drone for Christmas and Sandy asked if he could check her roof for any possible damage. Doug loves drones and was happy to go over the roof very meticulously. Haha
He is one of four certified drone operators for his Santa Cruz Sheriff's Dept. and recently used a much bigger one in a child abduction/hostage situation, spending 7 hours on site. The baby was safely rescued.

One of our cats, Doug, was just lounging away the afternoon. Happily, he didn't look away or take off when I grabbed my camera!
Went out from work with Doug's built G35 and did a long over due shoot. Was hard to find a spot close to work at the last second, but i think this alleyway did the job.

Strobist: 3x4 foot softbox as the background and a Glow 24" beauty dish above and to the left of Doug.

The line is closed for engineering. Barry Bullhead, the time & motion man from the ministry arrives to monitor Doug the track ganger. Before working on the railway, Doug was a 7 times winner of the West of England grave digging awards. He could put a body 6 feet under in under 6 minutes. I wouldn’t want to be Barry.
Doug is such an interesting person.

I’m on a ride probably in Delaware County (photographer possibly Warren Walker) Likely at one of the Franklin Bicycle Club, Inc, (FBCI) races held at Orange or Berlin.

At the Lonesome Hoshaw Orphans Review singer/songwriter showcase. Sponsored by Benson Songwriter Exchange. Thanks to Edmund Feingold for taking this image! Pictured is a National Estralita Deluxe, fitted with a Hotplate pickup system.
Doug used to be a biker. But after a couple of falls, he had to give up biking and bought himself a Ford Mustang (the dark blue car you can seen behind him).
Doug is a cooper at Middleton Place. As you can tell from this photo, Doug is quite a character. Very educated on all things "coopering", Doug is very interesting to listen to when he talks about his craft.
I met Doug and his daughter Robin in Green Gardens Park, Shilshole Bay, Seattle. He told me he as been throwing the sling since he was 12. He is in his mid 40s now. Sweetest daughter! He told me the technique in popular imagination how David used sling is wrong. You don't twirl it around. He then showed me which rocks to choose how to place it in the leather holder, generate the proper momentum and how to let go of the end to let the rock fly at top speeds . He even demo'd me how he has killed rattlesnake with sling. Doug and Robin were two of the loveliest and most friendly persons I have met so far in Seattle.
