Winston cuddles the boys, but has lots of energy too! Ballarat International Foto Biennale invited me to photograph dogs in a Furry Fotos event over several Fridays and Saturdays in February and March 2020. Out of the many images I shot for each customer, I shared four with them and they chose one for a …
Spaniels are always, always friendly! In come Toby & Chester with mum, Colleen for Furry Fotos on 22 Feb, and they were immediately at home. Spaniels are people people; especially Cavalier King Charles Spaniels!! Toby is a one year old tri-colour, and he had a bit of energy. Colleen tried getting him to jump up …

Oh this portrait shoot is just Spot On! Brie came in for a Spot of Furry Fotos photography on 22nd February thanks to the Ballarat International Foto Biennale & Bridge Mall. Now Spot was a mover and a shaker, and it took some capturing, but I think I managed to Spot the best moments. Apart …
It’s really about relationship with these guys 🙂 Lou and her furry friends came for Furry Fotos on 22nd February. I immediately noticed the relationship the dogs have with Lou; they were always looking to her for approval or affection. Some dogs always stay close to their owners; even if they walk away a bit, …
What a Ring-in! Donald came for a Furry Fotos photo shoot as a ring-in! What a great coincidence a friend accidentally over-booked 🙂 SWEET!!! Shot on on 21st February. Collies are pretty much people persons, but love to explore the environment too. Donald was no exception to this, but his owner kept him coming back …
Such a TEDDY BEAR!!! Furry Fotos yet again with a photo shoot for the Ballarat International Foto Biennale at Bridge Mall, featuring Marty and Fletcher. Shot on on 21st February.

More fun with a Furry Fotos photo shoot for the Ballarat International Foto Biennale at Bridge Mall with Sasha and Sarge on 21st February.

More fun with a Furry Fotos photo shoot for the Ballarat International Foto Biennale at Bridge Mall with Darren, Giggsy & Becky on 15th February. It was loaded with laughter and movement, and we managed to get some great shots despite Giggsy the constant escape artist launching from the chair! …

I got to photograph celebrity chef and master toastie maker Tim Bone as part of the Furry Fotos event I’m doing with the Ballarat International Foto Biennale and Bridge Mall Ballarat. It was really nice to meet him and Harry. They …
