Doug Lindstrand, a lifelong artist and acclaimed photographer, has just released an exciting new book designed to inspire and guide aspiring artists and outdoor enthusiasts alike in capturing the beauty and spirit of Alaska’s wildlife.
For over two decades, Doug has served as the lead photographer at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, a role he’s held since 1999. In that time, he has dedicated himself to not only showcasing the stunning wildlife that call Alaska home, but also to telling their unique stories through his images.
Doug’s journey as an artist and photographer began long before his time at the Wildlife Conservation Center. In 1978, he published his first book, Doug Lindstrand’s Alaskan Sketchbook. Since then, he has gone on to publish many more books, each reflecting his deep connection with the natural world and his unmatched ability to capture its essence.
Throughout his career, Doug has maintained a unique approach to his work—drawing inspiration directly from his own photographs. This allows him to create pieces that are not only visually stunning but also rich with authenticity. His drawings, often based on the moments he’s been fortunate enough to witness in the wild, convey a sense of connection with the animals he captures.
In his latest book, Doug shares his expertise and passion for wildlife photography and drawing, offering valuable tips, techniques, and insights for artists who wish to capture the same beauty and depth in their own work. Whether you’re an experienced artist or just starting your creative journey, Doug’s book serves as a rich resource for anyone eager to explore the magnificent landscapes and diverse wildlife of Alaska.
