A native of North
Carolina, Doug received his education in Oregon, Washington State, and Rome,
Italy. He moved to West Virginia in
1970 and began working as a photographer for The Fayette Tribune and The
Raleigh Register. He makes his home
overlooking the Greenbrier River near Hillsboro, West Virginia.
In 1979, Chadwick
co-produced the film documentary “True Facts in a Country Song.” The story of West Virginia musician,
Everett Lilly, and his legendary band, The Lilly Brothers, was aired on West
Virginia Public Television.
Doug Chadwick and
B.J. Gudmundsson joined together in 1998 to produce a documentary on The
Galford Lumber Company and the timber salvage effort following the New
England Hurricane of 1938. They soon
began work on documenting the story of America’s last hand-set newspaper, The
Pocahontas Times, which focused on the life of the paper’s sage editor,
Calvin W. Price. Chadwick’s
photography was incorporated into these films and he served as videographer
on both projects. He and Gudmundsson
are currently planning a documentary on the former coal town, Duo, West
Virginia.
