EXPLORING THE CONNECTION BETWEEN DOGS AND ART
ANIMALS IN NEED: CAN A PHOTO SAVE A LIFE?
Imagine having to leave your home. Imagine leaving your friends and family and your everyday life behind. Imagine being thrown into a world full of strange people, unfamiliar smells and sounds, and surroundings unlike anything you've ever seen before. Imagine not...
QUALIFYING AS A MASTER PHOTOGRAPHER
I need to start with a confession. When I first became a photographer, I told myself that I didn't need validation or approval from anybody, especially not an organisation or qualifying body. My time at university had left me feeling jaded, and I'd be damned if I was...
DISPLAYING YOUR ARTWORK IN YOUR HOME
For many of my clients, their biggest struggle is figuring out what to do with their photos after our session. There's a growing culture these days for saving photos onto a USB with the intention of working that part out later. Don't get me wrong, there are times when...
WELL WORTH THE WAIT: WILLOW & OAKLEY
One of my biggest fears as a photographer is that my clients won't love their photos. What if they're not what they were expecting? What if they hate them all? Combine that with my second biggest fear - rain during a session, argh! - and you've got one nervous wreck...

FEATURED ARTIST: HELENA CURRY

PHOTOGRAPHY EDUCATION: DISCOVERING MYSELF
It doesn't matter how much you think you know about something, there's always more to learn. And that couldn't be more true for photography. As with any form of art, you're constantly walking the fine line between mastering your craft and discovering yourself as an...
THE ARTISAN HOUND: ADVENTURES IN THE USA
The Artisan Hound: International Dog Photographer. Now there's a title I never thought I'd achieve! But last October, I did just that. And what an experience it was... It all started last spring when I was contacted by Robyn of Haute Dog: Couture Pet Photography in...
ANSWERING THE QUESTION: TED THE COCKAPOO
As somebody who doesn't own a dog, I often find myself faced with questions like 'so, what's your favourite breed?' and 'when you do get a dog, what do you think you'll go for?'. For the longest time I couldn't answer. I've never had a dog, yet I'm lucky enough to...
