I am a dog person. Always have been. I have also always been a photographer. I started working as a veterinarian's assistant while I was in high school in New York. It was quite a challenge, working with all sizes and shapes of dogs (and cats), from mentally disturbed Chihuahuas (my hands still have scars) to laid back Great Danes and Dobermans. After a four decade career in marketing, creative copy and design and public relations, I started specializing in canine portraits, simply because dogs are so much darn fun to photograph! A number of folks who saw my work told me I should go out for hire, so I did and the rest is as they say, history. Examples of my early canine portraiture resulted in surprising success. Portraits of "Katy"– a superstar Welsh Corgi therapy dog who has worked with the disabled and the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings are now on permanent exhibition in a hospital/rehabilitation center in Massachusetts. Finding the right setting and getting a dog to pose is a fun and challenging process. I try to capture the personality and essence of a dogs true spirt, be it feisty, happy go lucky, regal or somber. Fortunately, thanks to my veterinary training I have a way with most dogs, and know many of my subjects seem to really enjoy the process. Some dogs even smile for the camera.
