Photo Shoots for Dog owners
OK What the heck is a Dog Photo page doing in this Brand Photography site?
Well, people have asked me how I ended up photographing dogs when my business is in commercial brand photography. The honest answer is almost totally by accident!
I’ve always loved dogs – anyone who knows me knows I’m completely smitten with my beautiful Yellow Labrador, Wispa. So, when our local dog café asked if I’d help with a fundraising event, I jumped at the chance. Some of the images are included on his page. I never imagined it would become such a popular part of what I do.
The reaction was amazing. People absolutely loved seeing their dogs’ personalities captured in photographs, whether it was a cheeky grin, ears flying as they raced across a field, or that thoughtful look only their owners recognise.
Before long, one session led to another, and now photographing dogs has become a natural extension of my business. I approach every shoot in exactly the same way as I do my commercial work, I take the time to understand my subject, working patiently, and creating images that tell a story. The only difference is that my clients are ‘sometimes’ a little hairier 😉 and don’t always follow directions!
It’s enormous fun, and there’s nothing quite like handing over photographs that make people smile every time they look at them.
