Doug Catiller has spent over 20 years working in the Information Technology field, all the while maintaining his true passion for photography as a hobby. Over the past 8 years, he has done photographic assignments including small portraits, Church events and weddings for family and friends. Between 2004 and 2007, Doug shot promotional photos for UCI’s ‘Madrigal Dinner’, which was a Christmas themed dinner theater event. Late in 2005, a non-profit theater - The Chance Theater in Anaheim Hills - needed promotional photos for an upcoming play. Doug shot photos during a technical rehearsal for that show, and returned to shoot all ten of the shows the following year. Since then, Doug has been the resident photographer for The Chance Theater, and his photos are regularly published in The Orange County Register and other local periodicals.

With more and more requests for his work, Doug’s passion for photography and his confidence have grown, and in October of 2007 photography became his full-time career. Doug began his career by working in a local Orange County studio full-time, where he was able to work on developing both his photographic and studio management skills. In January, 2008, the owners of the studio retired, leaving Doug to choose between returning to his old career or to continue in photography. Doug opened True Image Studio on April 1st, 2008 and began to photograph families and children as well as First Communion and Confirmation events for local churches. Doug’s approach to photography comes with a passion that goes back over 25 years, when he first began to explore photography.
