Contemporary Canine Portraiture in Derbyshire & the Peak District

The Approach

Location-Based Portraiture

Relaxed, Bespoke Sessions

Dogs. Architecture. Landscape

DOGS / PLACE is a contemporary photographic practice specialising in bespoke portraits of dogs within architecture and landscape.

Working across Derbyshire and the Peak District, I create considered, natural portraits that explore the relationship between dogs and the places they inhabit.

Each session is shaped by the individual dog, the character of the location and the available light. Rather than relying on elaborate staging or familiar photographic conventions, my approach emphasises observation, composition and authentic moments.

The result is a collection of distinctive photographs, created to be enjoyed as individual works of art.

Bespoke photographic sessions from £295, including an archival fine-art print.

I had some lovely photographs done by Dan at Bolsover Castle. He captured her just right. I'd highly recommend him to anyone wanting special photographs of their dog to treasure.

Dan took some lovely photographs of my dog Ronnie, capturing her personality amazingly in a stunning Peak District setting. He has a great eye for dog photography and made the most of the surroundings to create really special images of her.

10/10! I would recommend Dan to anyone looking to get some lovely pictures of their dog. He takes a lot of pride in what he does and was so patient, really taking his time to get the most beautiful pictures. Amazing! Otis loved every moment.
