Sydney Pet Photos

The photographer at Sydney Pet Photos is John Dowling. He’s an accredited professional photographer with the Australian Institute of Professional Photography (AIPP). John is based in Sydney (Sutherland Shire) but travels throughout New South Wales and beyond.

John has owned dogs all his life but has a particular connection with German Shepherds. His current dog, Bess, is featured throughout this web site in dozens of different activities and should you take on John for a photography session, you’re sure to meet Bess.

The personality of every dog is as different as the humans that own them. Getting the dogs personality and character to show through in the photographs that John takes, requires time, skill and above all, patience. A photo shoot with one dog usually takes about two hours. But if we don’t get the images we’re after in that period we’ll keep going or even re-schedule the shoot for another day. Patience is the key and sometimes factors work against us in getting the right images on the day, that we sometimes need to do it again at a later date.
