Earlier this week I was asked to photograph two cats from surrey named Nellie and Murphy.  Cats are usually a little more difficult to photograph than dogs as they are generally less interested in what you are doing than dogs, but these two were real stars.


As with all animals I photograph, in order to capture the personality and spirit of these two cats I photographed them while they went about their normal behaviour, be that sunbathing, easting or napping.  I spent most of the time photographing them outside but also did a few 'studio' style shots using artificial lighting and a black background.  Both Nellie and Murphy were very good, not at all bothered by the equipment and more than happy to sit or lay down in front of the background. 


 These are a few of the images taken on the day.  If you have a cat, dog or other pet that you would like photographed  have a look at our website at www.pawprintsphotography.co.uk or call us on 07943 953009 for details of our pet photography service and have your furry or feathered friend captured in wonderful images!

I recently had the great pleasure of being asked to photograph Oggy, a beautiful Scarlet Macaw from Surrey.  His owner, Lisa, was unfortunately re-homing Oggy and wanted a professional portrait of him before he left.

Oggy was an absolute star.  He wasn't at all bothered about having a camera pointed at him and didn't bat an eye lid at any of the photographic equipment I used.

It was a beautiful day so we started the session outside.  The sun really brought our the bright reds, yellows and blues in Oggy's feathers.  We then moved inside for some 'studio' style shots using backgrounds and studio lighting.  Again Oggy was an absolute dream and didn't seem at all phased by the equipment, you would have thought he did this every day!

Here are just a few of the images taken on the day.
