Who Are You?

I’m Duncan Rawlinson. I make images and invest in things I believe in.

I live in the Thousand Islands region of Ontario, Canada with my two kids. Originally from Saskatchewan and raised in Ottawa, I was inspired by my father, a keen amateur photographer, to pursue photography. I’m a learner-builder-creator: someone drawn to continuous learning, deliberate action, and long-term thinking.

My photography has been published internationally, including in the New York Times, and exhibited at the Smithsonian. Over the years I’ve built an archive of more than a million photographs spanning multiple continents. I’ve been documenting Burning Man since 2012, creating one of the most comprehensive aerial and ground-level photographic records of the event, and I’m a member of the Burning Man Documentation Team.

Both photography and investing provide infinite game style learning, which is why I’m drawn to them. Investing is a great way to learn about reality.

I’m deeply interested in AI and how it’s transforming both image-making and how we learn. I work with AI tools to create new kinds of images and explore the intersection of technology and creativity.
