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.

Through My Lens, Long before a dog steps in front of my camera, the work has already begun.

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.

All of this is happening in a quiet mental rhythm, so the session feels effortless to those watching.
