NEW ZEALAND’S
loss is Australia’s gain as Douglas
Rimington, one of Lucire’s regular photographers,
boards a plane to Sydney, New South Wales tomorrow.
Doug’s first professional gig was for Lucire
but that isn’t the only reason we’re doing a tribute to
him online today.
He represents the growth of this title as a print
magazine, first surfing in to the then-well trafficked Lucire
forum in mid-2004. In other words, his career took off that year
because of serendipity—a casual surf into a website was the
catalyst to Doug reaching even further toward the stars.
Looking to discuss photography, he was invited—to
his surprise—to attend a professional photographic shoot for
Lucire in August that year. Since then, he’s never looked
back.
As much as we’d like to take credit for
Doug, his constant long and some would say ridiculous hours are
what’s responsible for his career’s development.
Just as we’ve improved, Doug has gone from
strength to strength, characterized by his generosity, humanity
and professionalism.
From fashion shoots to some of the most luscious
travelogues that we have published, we’ve been thrilled to
see Doug’s work evolve over the last three years. When he comes
just as a documentary photographer, we get regular requests for
his work from the hosts of the events we cover. Usually, they are
forced to admit, Doug’s shots surpass the official ones’
quality.
There’s almost universal admiration for
his casual portraits, too.
He has covered both Australian and New York Fashion
Weeks for this title, but has loved covering smaller fashion events
around New Zealand, too.
The staff of Lucire wish Doug well for
the next stage of his career. He will continue to collaborate with
this title—a modelling competition shoot in Sydney is next—and
we hope that we will grow his capability and influence in the years
to come.
We expect to see him regarded as one of the
world’s best, because he truly has what it takes. •
