For Bexley

Pet portraits in Bexley

The animal dictates the tempo. Twenty minutes of honest attention is what most dogs give, so the hour assumes it and we stop on a high rather than pressing for one more. Whatever it likes best, edible or squeaky, ought to travel with you.

Older animals get one place to sit and hardly any walking at all. The edit takes the training line out wherever it appears, and a frame whose eyes are not critically sharp is thrown away, that being the first thing anybody looks at.

Local and experienced

A calm, gentle hand in Bexley

Puppies are photographed early in the day while they are alert, and after a short play, so the frantic first ten minutes have already been spent. Treats are used sparingly and rotated, because an animal that has already eaten twenty pieces of chicken stops caring very much about the twenty-first.

Multiple pets, mixed households of cats and dogs, and small furry pets are all welcome in a single session. Bring the toy your dog is obsessed with, the treats it actually responds to and, if such a thing exists, the word that makes its ears go up.

Pet Photographer in Bexley, FAQs

Of course. We come to horses and ponies at their stables or in the field, and welcome small pets like rabbits and guinea pigs into the studio. Whatever the creature, our approach stays patient and calm, drawing out its character without ever rushing or unsettling it. Outdoors in Bexley we would head for Danson Park in Welling, with its large boating lake and open lawns.

Yes. Alongside your edited digital gallery, we offer fine prints, framed pictures and canvases, so your favourite images can go straight onto the wall at home in London. We are glad to help you choose sizes and finishes that suit your rooms. Landmarks we can work with near Bexley include Danson House, a Grade I listed Palladian mansion set within Danson Park.

Around an hour at Danson Park. Perhaps twenty of those minutes are the dog genuinely working, the rest being walking, settling and waiting for the animal to stop noticing us. Older dogs do less of the walking and more of the sitting, so those tend to finish sooner. We would sooner end early holding good frames than keep going until the dog stops enjoying itself.

Yes. Bexley is a south-east London borough and we work right across it, taking in Bexleyheath, Welling, Sidcup and Erith, and houses and gardens suit us as readily as Danson Park. A dog wary of visitors is better started at home, where it already holds the advantage, and moving out to the park afterwards is easy enough once it has settled.

The difference is in how the hour gets planned. We take an early slot at Danson Park before the lawns fill up, keep a line attached until the first burst of energy has burnt off, let it loose once we have gone dull, and use the boats out on the lake as something to stare at when ears forward is what the frame needs. The A2 crosses the borough, so nothing comes off before we are well in.

Two features of Bexley decide how a dog session at Danson Park runs, and the first is audible rather than visible. The A2 crosses the borough as a dual carriageway, and across open ground that carries. A dog that startles at traffic is worked well inside the park, away from the roads, where the sound falls back, and the difference in how it holds its head shows up in the first ten frames. Nervous animals get that ground by default. The second is the boating lake, whose use here is not swimming. Boats moving slowly at a distance are precisely what a dog will lock onto, and an animal watching something it cannot reach gives you ears forward, mouth closed and eyes fixed, which is the expression owners actually want and which no amount of calling ever produces. So the water works from well back, as a thing to watch and not a thing to get into. Scale is the other issue on lawns this wide. A terrier at twenty paces on open grass is a speck, so the keepers are made near, and space is only allowed into the shot where there is a reason for it. Danson House, standing within the park, is that reason. A dog in front of a symmetrical stone frontage reads as a formal portrait and not as a snapshot on a field, and it is the frame most owners end up printing.
