Douglas Merriam travels extensively on assignment, capturing the essence of place, people and cuisine. He splits his time between Portland, Maine and Santa Fe, New Mexico, travelling everywhere in-between shooting food, farms, travel and lifestyle for magazines, ad agencies, and cookbook publishers.

His passion is anything food related, ranging from food on the vine to the people who grow and cook it, as well as following the journey of food to plate.

When not on assignment he can be found growing his own food and cooking it with his wife and daughter in their tiny kitchen.
