Dogs are often considered the best friends of humans; while cats, as much as they’re known for their independent and aloof nature, have also been cherished for their companionship and close bonds with humans for centuries. However, successfully photographing these four-legged friends presents some unique challenges, not least that it requires the rapid establishment of trust and comfort between the owner, photographer, and pet.
Elke Vogelsang, a professional pet photographer, has dedicated her career to capturing candid and vibrant photos of our furry friends. The chances are that you have already seen her work, possibly through her international collaborations, such as those with Adobe and Pedigree. However, her passion for animals extends far beyond capturing images: she uses the medium of photography to actively engage in animal welfare and protection, with her documentary perspective shedding light on the global reality of animal welfare and advocating for pet adoption over purchasing.
