As a dedicated advocate for shelter dog adoption, photographer Emma O'Brien has several rescue dogs of mixed breeds in her care and she doesn't discriminate between breeds. However, for this particular project, she turns her attention to purebred dog adoption and what she found was concerning. Normally, mixed-breed dogs are frequently surrendered to shelters due to rampant breeding and they have no inherent financial value, putting them at a disadvantage for those seeking a specific breed. However, during the creation of her 'Dogs Unleashed' series, she realized that even the purebred dogs she photographed for the project were in need of new homes for three main reasons: a lack of breed-specific understanding, no longer being financially profitable to breeders, and breeders closing do...

We all can agree that Harvest Mice are cute and adorable little creatures. Despite that, they are not a popular subject in wildlife photography or pet photography. But, this photographer Miles Herbert seems to have decided that they deserve to be shot (with a camera, of course) up close. So he went his way and created a series of adorable photographs of Harvest Mice inside flowers, in his indoor studio. Instead of disturbing the wildlife, a bunch of captive-bred mice have been used in these photoshoots. Although, it should be noted that once the mice are strong enough, they are released into the wild. Herbert's decision to place mice inside tulip flowers generates a whole other vibe. Even though tulips are not so strong, their strength is just enough to contain a little harvest mouse i...

Pet photography is widely regarded as one of the most challenging sub-genres since it calls for not just technical expertise but also impeccable timing and patience on the part of the photographer. Obviously, the subjects would not even listen to the photographer, unlike your typical photography client. Rupa Sutton (Freya Ever After) is one such photographer who dared to put up with the pets. She utilizes all areas of photography to create the most fantastic photographs possible, exposure, lighting, framing, depth-of-filed, etc. You cannot urge animals to pose for you in the way you want or to do things to make them seem nice in photographs. But, judging by the breathtaking pictures that come out of her camera, it appears as though she could genuinely communicate with animals. The...

Pets are getting closer and closer to people so much and they are already inseparable from mankind. They are often referred to as family members and young people tend to refer themselves as moms and dads to pets. And there is even a recent development of young men and women not looking for human partners for life, instead of looking for animal companionship. Due to this increased love and bond towards the pets, people tend to capture loving and adorable moments of their pets. That is why now there are even competitions like 'Comedy Pet Photo Awards' to share those captured moments. Like they always were, people never settle. Taking photographs of pets using phones has become 'not enough'. Now we have come to an era that pets getting expensive professional photoshoots by professional ...

What happens when you leave your cat with a friend who happens to be a photographer is it will get a professional cat photoshoot at no additional cost. Miranda McDonald recently asked Josell Mariano to take care of her kitten, Jade, while she is away on some business. Josell agreed to help out as a good friend but had other things on his mind than cleaning up the cat litter and refilling the food dish. He decided to go a step further and arrange for Jade to be the subject of an enviable photoshoot, which she graciously accepted.
