Dog photographer in Somerset and across the South West

Natural photos of your dog being themselves, out on a walk somewhere beautiful.

Every day with your dog

Your dog is part of every ordinary day, from the first walk in the morning to the welcome at the door when you get home. Nobody is ever quite as pleased to see you, and those days go by far too quickly.

Photos on your wall keep all of that close. You walk past them every day and see your dog just as they are now.

About two weeks after your session, youโ€™ll see your photos for the first time in a reveal video set to music.

Wall art for your home

The love you have for your dog deserves to be seen and celebrated. Some photos catch a look you just donโ€™t see with the naked eye. I offer framed fine art, acrylics and a ladder triptych, plus a folio box of matted prints.

Meet Mark

Iโ€™m Mark, and I photograph dogs all over the South West. Iโ€™ve had dogs all my life, and itโ€™s a privilege to be trusted with yours. By the time Iโ€™ve edited your photos, Iโ€™ve fallen in love with your dog too.

What I look for

Your dogโ€™s character matters, and so does a photo thatโ€™s beautiful in its own right. On a walk Iโ€™m watching the light, whatโ€™s behind your dog and the ground under their feet, then waiting for the moment it all comes together. I donโ€™t overly pose dogs, and thereโ€™s no heavy editing.

What clients say

Iโ€™d love to meet your dog
