Framed photographs change how a room feels. Not be Framed photographs change how a room feels. Not because they are styled perfectly, but because they mean something to you. A dog who never leaves your side, horses photographed where they feel calm and familiar, simple portraits that belong on your walls, not lost on a hard drive. When I photograph dogs and horses, I always think about the finished piece, how it will look framed, how it will still matter years from now. If you want photographs of your dog or horse that are made to be displayed, not just posted once and forgotten, get in touch.
One blue eye. One brown eye, It is rare, but what One blue eye. One brown eye, It is rare, but what matters more is how it suits him. This kind of eye colour happens when pigment develops differently. It is uncommon, but it is also completely natural. No tricks. No editing. Just how some dogs are born When I photograph dogs, I pay attention to details like this. Those details are what make a photograph feel like your dog, not just a nice picture of a dog.

I work across Nottinghamshire, photographing dogs in familiar outdoor spaces, keeping things simple and natural. If that sounds like you, I would love to hear about your plans for the year ahead. My diary for the coming months is now open.
As the new year begins, I am looking forward to mo As the new year begins, I am looking forward to more of what matters. Quiet moments between dogs and their people. Horses and riders in places they feel most at home. Shoots that allow time to slow down and let animals settle. I am drawn to work that feels unhurried and honest. Time outdoors. Familiar places. Space for animals to be themselves, without pressure or posing for the sake of it. If that sounds like you, I would love to hear about your plans for the year ahead. My diary for the coming months is now open. I work across Nottinghamshire, spending most of my time outdoors with dogs, horses, and the people who care for them.
