Robb Douglass

Early Life

Robb Douglass was born in Edmonton in 1950 and began his 26-year career as a still photographer with CFRN television, later switching to 16mm film and eventually video. He moved to Regina to work for CBC National TV News, then to Vancouver. After racing endurance horses in BC for a couple of years, Douglass eventually shifted his focus to boats. For 'Skookum Tugs' Douglass donned a pair of caulk boots and learned to run up and down logs with his cameras as nimbly as a boom man. He lived in North Vancouver with his wife Linda and their daughter Kate.

Robbs Celebs Website

Having achieved some notable success as a photoprapher and videographer, Douglass, in semi-retirement, set up what was to become one of the most notorious websites of the 1990s and 2000s, Robb's Celebs, a popular adult website featuring extensive galleries of female celebrities in various states of undress. The site was online from at least as early as 1999 to 2008. [http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.robbscelebs.co.uk]
