Through my lens: I’m not chasing side view photo. I’m watching for connection through my lens. I want the dog to look into my camera. For atleast one shot. I want personality. I want soulful eyes.
I always want my photos of rescue dogs to stand out, to be different. Their photos should speak and tell their story. So their forever family see's them and stops scrolling.
Anyone can take a photo. But the person behind the lens must recognize body language.
When I’m photographing, I’m watching the dog. The animal in front of me tells me everything I need to know.
I replay sessions in my mind. I zoom in on details others may never notice. I adjust, refine, and sometimes redo because I know what the image can become. Through my lens....
What many don’t realize is that behind every portrait is an unseen collaboration, a quiet team of humans working together: pet parents, family, photographer assistants, volunteers, and friends.
