Calm, outdoor photography for dogs who just want to be dogs.
Hi, I'm Ollie.
I first picked up a camera in 2020 as a creative escape from a highly demanding day job. When you spend your week in a high-pressure environment, you quickly realise the value of stepping back, getting outdoors, and just enjoying the moment. That calm, no-stress approach is exactly what I bring to every photoshoot.
I have grown up surrounded by dogs, and I firmly believe the best photos happen outdoors, off the beaten track. Whether I'm out on the motorbike or just hiking through the local trails, the countryside is where I spend my downtime, and it is exactly where your dog's true personality comes out.
I don't do stiff poses or stressful studio lighting. We essentially just go for a relaxed walk in your dog's favourite spot, and I capture their genuine character as we go. You don't need to worry about them behaving perfectly—just let them be dogs, and I will handle the rest.
If you want to capture some brilliant, natural memories of your best mate, get in touch and let's get a date in the diary.
FAQs:
-
It depends on various factors though I like to spend between 1-2 hours per shoot, this allows your pet to get used to me.
-
No, I will work with most animals, some animals are easier to work with than others but please contact me with the details of your specific animal before booking.
-
I will approach each photoshoot as a case by case basis, I will not photograph pets that have a history of being dangerous towards people or other animals, I have however worked with animals that are nervous with new people and I approach any shoot carefully as not to stress the animal.
-
I will contact you prior to the day to arrange a time and location that works for us both. On the day I will be very hands off with your animal, it means I can take photos without them paying attention to me. I may ask you to get your pet to sit or pose and will interact with them through you. I can take photos of you with your pet during the shoot.
Please bring everything you would normally when taking your pet for a walk, if they have a toy that grabs their attention please bring that along, if they are food motivated then bring some treats, also always bring a lead with you so your animal can be controlled around other pets and people.
We will essentially just go for a walk and I will take photos as we go! -
Yes! This is fine, images can be edited after the shoot to remove the lead, please be aware that extensive editing requires extra work which may effect pricing slightly.
-
Absolutely! I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable during the shoot, I will request that where possible children are not brought along where it can be avoided, I will need you to be able to control your pet during the shoot, If a child does come along please ensure another adult is there to supervise the child.
-
In a word, No. I require you or a responsible adult to be with your animal throughout the photoshoot.
-
Absolutley! I am more than happy to do so, this wont effect the price of the photoshoot though it will limit the amount of photos captured of each animal.
-
Yes, I can accommodate this request on a case by case basis however I prefer to capture photos of your pets outside.
-
I can certainly recommend locations that would be suitable for a shoot depending on where you live, please drop me a message at least a week prior to the shoot to arrange this.
-
I will strive to get the photos from the shoot edited within two weeks, I will send you a web link to a virtual portfolio private to you that will show you the final images.
-
If you would like the photos placed on a memory card then this can be facilitated. I would prefer if you supplied your own SD card although I can provide an SD at a cost, please contact me if you require this.
