A DOG'S LIFE

Winner of ipa award 2018, pets category
Winner of the fence awards 2019, creatures category
FINALIST OF THE SIENNA AWARDS 2020, ANIMALS CATEGORY

Just like humans, dogs form attachments to their personal possessions and can give the viewer deeper insight into their identity. The items that shape their daily routine, that they carry, keep, and even eat- give us a glimpse into their hearts and minds. They show us what makes them most proud or happy and even puts their vulnerability on display. Capturing the things that mean the most to them also captures the heart of the viewer as the dog’s life is fully exposed in one image.
