2019 was a landmark year for me, ten years since I began my journey as a professional dog photographer.  To celebrate I invited ten of the dogs I’d photographed over the years back for another photo shoot and shared the series of pictures on social media: Ten for Ten. 

Rafferty was one of the most stunning creatures I’ve ever photographed. My photoshoot with him was also one of my very first photoshoots as a professional photographer and such a lovely one.

The moment the beautiful Tilda walked into my Richmond studio I knew I was in for a treat: beautiful, charming, friendly, very well-trained and attentive, she was going to be the perfect subject.

But I didn’t know the half of it.  As her owners started to chat and shared with me Tilda’s extraordinary story, I began to realise I was in the presence of the most heroic creature I have ever photographed.
