SWPP Creative Photographer of the Year 2021
We photograph pets!
Our pets are our companions, and an integral part of our families. They bring a special joy to our lives but sadly they’re only with us for a relatively short time.
As pet owners ourselves, it’s lovely to be able to capture their unique personalities that will stay with us long after they are gone.
Creative portraiture is an investment that will continue to make you smile for many years. Our portraits are available as Wall Art, which can be designed to co-ordinate with the décor of your home and become the most personal piece of artwork you will ever own.

Hi, I’m John,
I’m a professional pet photographer based in Swindon.
With over a decade of experience photographing both dog & cats of all shapes and sizes, as well as humans, we produce beautiful pet portraits. Well that’s what our clients tell us and we’d be daft to argue with them.
I am an award-winning photographer with The Society of Wedding & Portrait Photographers. Having most recently won Creative Portrait Photographer of the Year 2021, I was also runner-up in 2018 and again in 2024 in the Pet Portrait category. I enjoy taking photographs in our purpose built studio with a variety of lighting arrangements and carefully chosen props.
My aim is to deliver excellent animal photography that’s a true representation of your pets personality and characteristics for you to remember now, and cherish long after they have gone.
“John is the complete professional. He is a very talented photographer and takes time to get to know you and your dog. He has a genuine passion for dogs and his work, which is obvious in everything he does. There was no pressure to buy further pictures.
I can’t recommend him highly enough.”
