Today – Lin Gibbons, a friend who is a specialist dog photographer in Gloucestershire.<\/h3>\n

I’ve known Lin for about 15 years. I was already photographing pretty seriously when we first met, and she has developed her passion for dog photography since then. Like Dylan Vidovich<\/a>, she is a Canon user, and unlike him, exclusively so.\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Living in the village of Beckford, near Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, Lin’s photographic world is probably more naturally doggy (and horsey!) than mine as a Bromley-based photographer. Her own dogs are Hungarian Vizslas – one of those lovely breeds which looks noble when stood still but happiest when running full pelt! Here she is on the joys of being a specialist dog photographer.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”9184″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50 pixels”][divider line_type=”Small Line” line_alignment=”default” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default” custom_height=”50 pixels”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50 pixels”][vc_custom_heading text=”On being a dog photographer” google_fonts=”font_family:Raleway%3A100%2C200%2C300%2Cregular%2C500%2C600%2C700%2C800%2C900|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

I love dogs.\u00a0 All dogs.\u00a0 In fact, I prefer them to most humans!\u00a0 I like to photograph them in their own homes, inside, outside, working, in the show or agility ring – anything.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Some types of dog photography are more challenging than others.\u00a0 Getting 5-week old puppies in a basket for maximum cuteness appeal is one of them.\u00a0 But also a lot of fun.\u00a0 You need a lot of patience and sometimes I have spent a whole day with a litter of puppies just to get \u201cthat shot\u201d.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Although my collection of cameras and lenses has grown over the years, I mainly shoot with a mirrorless Canon R5 and my go to trusty 70-200mm lens so that I am not in the dogs space.\u00a0 I also find this combination works well for speed and for action shots where lighting conditions are not always ideal and you are not allowed to use a flash (at dog shows etc).\u00a0 Some dogs are inquisitive and come right up to the lens and try to peer down the hood.\u00a0 Others shy away and I sit or lie on the floor for quite a while before the shoot for these cautious dogs so that they feel comfortable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”9187″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50 pixels”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”9191″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

I admire other dog photographers’<\/strong> work – the people who shoot wonderful portraits in a studio setting.\u00a0 This is not my thing.\u00a0 I like impulsive, in-the-moment, natural shots and I would like to think that this is evident in my work.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some people have asked me if I\u2019ve ever been asked to photograph an ugly breed of dog.\u00a0 There is no such thing as an ugly dog!\u00a0 All dogs are simply fabulous in my eyes – they never complain that you have not done them justice or caught \u201ctheir bad side\u201d.\u00a0 Unlike their owners, they never want the photographs touching up in photoshop either to eliminate their double chin or smooth out their wrinkles.\u00a0 They are simply amazing to photograph and I know with absolutely certainty that I never want to be anything else but a dog photographer.<\/p>\n

I put a few extra questions to Lin:<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

How long have you been photographing seriously?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Whilst it has always been a long-term hobby of mine, I have been only seriously photographing dogs for the last 7 years.<\/p>\n

What got you into it – photography itself or dog ownership?<\/em><\/p>\n

Dog ownership was a key part. \u00a0I realised very early on that you could never achieve that shot yourself of a dog gazing lovingly into their owners eyes with your own camera and therefore I wanted to be able to capture that for others.<\/p>\n

Any strong reason to go for Canon? What was your first “serious” camera?<\/em><\/p>\n

I opted for the Canon after visiting a camera shop and just holding all the cameras in my hand. \u00a0I felt comfortable with the shape of the Canon – I just liked it! \u00a0My first serious camera was the Canon 7D MKii and I still think it\u2019s\u00a0a fabulous camera.<\/p>\n

Where can we see more of your work?<\/em><\/p>\n

I have a Facebook page<\/a> which showcases most of my work.\u00a0 You can also find me on Instagram<\/a>. I prefer word of mouth for recommendations and I like to keep things low key for now as I am retired and do not want my photography to become a full time work load.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50 pixels”][vc_column_text]\n

How can someone book you for a photoshoot with their dogs?<\/em><\/p>\n

I have all the necessary contact details on my Facebook page and of course even if someone does not have Facebook, a quick Google of my name will soon find me. Each person’s needs are different and I do not offer packages. \u00a0Every shoot is bespoke.<\/p>\n

It has been a long time since I last saw Lin in person <\/b>– though we keep in touch via Facebook etc.. I already have a debt of gratitude to her – she recommended the cafe where I first met Sarah, my wife of ten years. Now I owe Lin a blog article too!<\/p>\n

I think I probably also owe her and her beautiful daughter Beth some modelling fees for the chance to take their picture one time we met up. This has always been a favourite.<\/p>\n

As for my own dog photography, I am a bit allergic to the beasts. All the same, I love them. Three favourite shots below – all far less energetic and more “posed” than Lin’s excellent work. Perhaps I need to get out more! But it goes to show that, even with dogs, every photographer will have a different eye.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”9193″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][vc_column_text]\n
