PORTFOLIO SAMPLES
I photograph mostly dogs but there are a few picture of cats sprinkled into my work. When I photography I work to convey the emotions of each animal whether they are sleepy,happy, or just curious. Pets have different feelings and emotions just like people and through photography I found I could show each one's different personality.
Just starting, I would try to get each animal to stand completely still, but I soon found out that wasn't going to happen. I had to learn how take pictures in a way that matched the movements of each different animal, while applying my understanding of the technical operation of the camera - both at the same time.
Something that people notice first about my photographs is how cute and colorful each animal is. Looking over this sea of puppy faces makes most people feel happy. It's fun to look at each one and see their feelings and emotions.
