GIVING BACK AS A VOLUNTEER PHOTOGRAPHER

GIVING BACK AS A VOLUNTEER PHOTOGRAPHER

Being able to give back to my community is a huge privilege, and an experience that has probably had more impact on my photography than anything else. Without the opportunity to work with the dogs and the amazing team at Animals In Need Northamptonshire, I may never...

ANIMALS IN NEED: CAN A PHOTO SAVE A LIFE?

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

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

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

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...

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: 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

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

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

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

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...
