Born in Fort Erie, Ontario, Douglas Kirkland’s career as an award-wining photographer spans five decades and six continents. His subjects have ranged from glamorous stars like Lauren Bacall and Barbra Streisand, rock stars such as Mick Jagger and Sting, to fashion icons Coco Chanel and Pierre Cardin. Through working at Look magazine in the 1960s and Life magazine in the 1970s he began his career photographing the most famous actors and actresses on and off set.

Douglas Kirkland was an apprentice to Irving Penn and started his career at Look and Life magazine in the 1960s and 1970s during the golden age of photojournalism. He has worked on the set of over 100 motion pictures including 2001: Space Odyssey, Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, Moulin Rouge!, Out of Africa, Titanic and Australia and his iconic images of Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Jack Nicholson, Angelina Jolie and John Travolta (in the dance sequence from Saturday Night Fever), among others, are known all over the world.

Kirkland’s fine art photography has been exhibited worldwide and he is a sought after lecturer. He is a member of the prestigious Hewlett Packard’s Photo Influencers and Canon’s Explorers of Light as well as an associate member of the American Society of Cinematography. He has received many awards; most recently the Lifetime Achievement Award from CAPIC in his native Toronto, Canada and The Golden Eye Russia, both in 2006, as well as a Lucie Award for Outstanding Achievement in Entertainment Photography in 2003. Among his books are Light Years, Legends and An Evening with Marilyn. When he is not traveling the globe on assignment with his wife and business partner Francoise, he spends time at his home and studio in the Hollywood Hills.
