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.
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....
Two decades, thousands of shutter clicks, and countless wagging tails later, one truth remains: a meaningful pet portrait isn’t about perfection.
A portrait begins long before the session.
