EXPLORING THE CONNECTION BETWEEN DOGS AND ART
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...
2019 CHARITY CALENDAR PROJECT: LOOKING BACK
At the end of 2017 I set myself a challenge. I wanted to take on something that would push me creatively throughout the year, and give me the chance to raise money for my local animal shelter, Animals In Need. And so, my 2019 Charity Calendar project was born. Fast...
FEATURED ARTIST: HELENA CURRY
Since the launch of my Featured Artist series and brilliant interview with oil painter Jennifer Gennari, I decided to head a little closer to home for my next source of inspiration. And when I stumbled across the incredible work of Helena Curry, I knew I'd discovered...
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...
FEATURED ARTIST: JENNIFER GENNARI
I'm a huge believer that inspiration can be found anywhere. Just because I'm a photographer, doesn't mean that I only seek out dog photography for inspiration and ideas. We can learn valuable lessons from studying art outside our own niches, which in turn can inspire...
A TRIP TO CAMBRIDGESHIRE: MILLIE THE BORDER TERRIER
It's safe to say that my work takes me to a lot of different places, from photographing rescue dogs on the sun-soaked coastlines of Mexico and Costa Rica, to shooting clients way out in Texas, USA! But when I'm back home in the UK, it's actually quite rare for me to...
MR APRIL: FLASH THE BORDER COLLIE
Okay, so I'm running a little bit behind on my calendar project... But I have been managing to time each session to its corresponding month (yay!) which has meant that - for the most part - the resulting photos have been a good representation of the season. Probably...
