About me
Douglas J. Paik (Bio)
I grew up on a small farm in rural Saskatchewan and eventually moved to Victoria B.C where I discovered that I had an untapped artistic talent. These talents were discovered in a very extraordinary way, much different than most photographers. Night after night for months, I would dream that I was taking pictures of people, places and objects. These dreams were incredibly detailed.
The first thing I did was to research the various types of cameras which included the reviews. After
months of researching cameras, I purchased a Sony A6300 mirror less camera, which is a fantastic
piece of engineering.
I have been working as a freelance creative artist for a number of years. My main focus is on secondary
light and capturing the optimum moment. You may ask what is the optimum moment. It is similar to:
- how excited your taste buds were the first time you had a sip of a fine wine or brandy
- the excitement which your brain enjoyed the moment when you saw a beautiful rainbow
- your first kiss
- how a great blues song touched your very soul
- the very first time you saw an angel
I feel fortunate that my pictures have received positive reviews from many local artists.
The most important lessons which I have learned are to have fun with photography and enjoy life to it’s fullest.

daughter. Plus, my daughter suggested the name of the company….Collectivevoice.
