Honoring Loudoun’s Favorite Photographer
Douglas Graham
F
rom the first issue of Loudoun Now in November 2015, Douglas Graham contributed his exceptional photojournalism talents to the newsroom’s efforts to tell Loudoun County’s stories. For the next decade, through his lens we saw celebrations of the human spirit, stunning landscapes, and intimate interactions with our natural world. His work added perspective to our community tragedies. His passion for visual storytelling came through with every click of the shutter and his photography won countless state and national awards. His passion for community journalism was unbounded—and, for those who worked with him, infectious. Douglas Graham died July 12, 2026, after battling Stage 4 esophageal cancer, a journey that he documented as his final photojournalism project.
