Fine-Art Dog Photography

Portraits of dogs with the seriousness they deserve.

A Samoyed and a Pomeranian in snow, in autumn light and on a studio backdrop, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel under the Christmas bells in Covent Garden, and an apricot poodle.

  1. Black and white photograph of a Samoyed lying against a black background, head tipped back mid-yawn with its mouth wide open, thick white coat catching the light.

    The Yawn

  2. Photograph of a white Samoyed walking toward the camera down a leaf-covered path, backlit by low autumn sun that throws long light shafts through the trees on either side.

    Down the Avenue

  3. Photograph of a white Samoyed sitting upright beside a fallen log at the base of a large oak, golden autumn foliage and low sun filling the background.

    Under the Oak

  4. Photograph of a white Samoyed and a small apricot poodle running flat out across green grass side by side, both dogs fully airborne mid-stride.

    The Chase

  5. Photograph of a black-and-tan Cavalier King Charles Spaniel lying front-on on wet cobblestones in a London street, wearing a red and white fleece harness, city lights blurred behind.

  6. Photograph of an apricot Pomeranian lying against a black background, its thick fur fanned out around it, looking directly at the camera.

  7. An apricot-coloured poodle with a tight curly coat sitting upright on a fur rug against a black studio background, mouth slightly open, ears hanging in soft curls, lit from above.

    The Apricot Poodle

  8. Close portrait of a black-and-tan Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in profile looking upward, its long dark ears and glossy coat lit by warm golden light, against a soft backdrop of glowing amber lanterns.

    Cavalier, Looking Up

  9. A black-and-tan Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in a red harness lying on the stone floor of Covent Garden's Apple Market, looking up, with giant golden Christmas bells and red bows hanging from the glass roof and lanterns glowing behind.

    Under the Bells

  10. A Samoyed sitting in dewy grass in low golden light, rays of sun streaming through the trees behind it and lighting the mist, the dog's white coat glowing at the edges and a soft lens flare on the grass below.

    In the Rays

  11. A Samoyed sitting upright and smiling with its tongue out beside a small orange Pomeranian lying down, both against a plain black studio background with soft light from the left.

    Two Dogs, Studio Black

  12. A fluffy orange Pomeranian caught in mid-air as it bounds through deep snow, all four paws off the ground, tongue out and ears back, against a flat white field.

    Airborne

  13. A Samoyed running straight towards the camera through deep snow, its white coat almost the same tone as the snow and sky, mouth open, one front paw lifted mid-stride and a blur of snow flying at its feet.

    Coming Through the Snow

  14. A Samoyed in a harness standing in deep snow, mouth open, with a fluffy orange Pomeranian sitting in front of its legs, both dogs looking off to the left against a flat white field.
