Doug Elbinger has been making photographs since the age of 12. While still in high school he photographed the Beatles on stage with them during their August 1966 concert in Detroit.  As a college student at Michigan State University, Doug freelanced for several news agencies and publications, including The Detroit Free Press, United Press International, and Time magazine, documenting the turbulent late 1960’s. 

During the early 1970’s,  Doug’s interest in history was rewarded with a grant form the National Bi-Centennial Commission to serve as photographic history consultant. Doug’s work with the Smithsonian Institution and the National Archives, as well as many other museums and historical societies all over the country earned him a national reputation as a photographic historian. Today Elbinger Studios is recognized as a leading source for the copy, restoration and preservation of heirloom and historic photographs.

In 1977 Doug established his studio in the Lansing area. Since then, Doug  Elbingers’ photographs have appeared in countless books, magazines, newspapers, annual reports, album covers, trade journals, and web sites. Families, businesspeople, models, politicians, and artists everywhere count on Doug to "put them in a good light".

Based in Okemos, Michigan, Doug enjoys working for a variety of corporate, institutional, and private clients on a global scale. In the last few years Doug has worked in Russia, India, Israel, Belize, Nicaragua, Turkey, Europe, and extensive travel all over the USA and Canada.
