All about Scooby
Scooby is a vivacious Pointer that I had the good fortune to photograph in the beautiful setting of Bosham, near Chichester in West Sussex.
Scooby's portfolio is all about capturing his character. In some pictures he's a wonderful and elegant example of his breed, whilst in others he's a very much loved member of the family. His owner's favourite picture is the one with his tongue licking his nose, because it's so characteristic of him.
I always encourage owners to tell me about favourite places or typical expressions their dog may have - Albert the English Bull Terrier likes curling up on the sofa, hiding his nose under his paws - so that I can capture them.
Scooby's portfolio also shows what can be gained by photographing both at home and on location. I got to know him in familiar surroundings, before setting off to find a natural backdrop that would show off his colouring and elegance.
Overall the portfolio has a blend of styles - humorous, formal, playful and active - all of which go together to make his unique character. That's what I aim for in every set of pictures of every dog I photograph.
